Hi Mario,

However, that was added, because there are Intel platforms on which
Root Ports need to be programmed into D3hot on suspend (which allows
the whole platform to reduce power significantly) and there are no
ACPI device power management objects associated with them (Mika should
know the gory details related to this). It looks like under Windows
the additional power reduction would not be possible on those systems,
but that would be a problem, wouldn't it?
I've been thinking on this today, and I at least have a hypothesis about
this behavior. Perhaps Windows is actually utilizing enabled PEP
constraints to enforce what state device should be put into over Modern
Standby cycles in the absence of ACPI objects.
In the case of one of my problematic system the PEP constraints for the root
port are:
Package (0x04)
{
0x00,
"\\_SB.PCI0.GP17",
0x00,
0x00
},
That first 0x00 means the constraint isn't actually enabled for the root
port.
Mika,
Could you get an acpidump from one of these problematic Intel systems so we
can check the PEP constraints to see if this theory works? Or maybe you have
some other ideas why this is different?
The patch adding this was merged in 2016 and unfortunately I don't have
any of the ACPI dumps from them available anymore (and do not recall the
details either). I think these were Apollo Lake-P based systems with the
initial runtime D3cold and S0ix support at the time.
I scoured the web looking for acpidumps a bit an Apollo Lake system and
came across this random bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1591307
"Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3450 @ 1.10GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x5c,
stepping: 0x9)"
I looked at the acpidump, and I notice:
Low Power S0 Idle (V5) : 0
That means that Windows wouldn't actually be putting it into Modern
Standby at suspend but would rather use S3.
Considering that result, could we perhaps adjust the check to:
if ((c->x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_INTEL) && !(acpi_gbl_FADT.flags &
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0))
Or could we quirk the PCI root ports from Apollo Lake to opt into D3?
