Why > is only power button event enabled and not sleep here? Good question and related to the potentially unexpected behavior part. Presumably, on some systems the sleep button could not be enabled automatically as it triggered another suspend right away after that. That's speculation, though. > In my case, I am using sleep button event to generate S4 state > which causes guest VM running on xen to hibernate. Usually, however, the sleep button is used to trigger transitions into S3 (or suspend-to-idle on systems that support it). > I have found > in my debugging process that after first resume when kernel goes > through this code path, sleep button event is not enabled and > when hypervisor try to generate sci interrupt, its not received in > the guest since this path does not enable sleep event. OK So the patch can be applied AFAICS, but if it is reported to cause problems to happen, it will need to be reverted. Please resend the patch with a proper CC list (including Bob, Erik, the ACPICA devel list etc). Thanks!
