Hi PCI/ACPI PM experts, Since Linux 4.8, nouveau switched to rely on the PCIe port driver to transition to D3cold. This however does not happen for an Acer Aspire V7-582PG (Haswell, NVIDIA GTX 750M) from Rick. Any idea why? acpidump, lspci, dmesg and other details can be found in the linked bug below. Kind regards, Peter On Wed, Oct 26, 2016 at 10:42:07PM +0000, bugzilla-daemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98398 > > --- Comment #11 from Peter Wu <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- > So 4.7 and before used the "DSM" method on runtime-suspend: > - \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._DSM would be invoked to enable Optimus > - \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._PS3 is then invoked which would enter D3cold > (note, this method is still used in 4.8 on older laptops or with the > pcie_pm_port=off kernel option) > > Since 4.8, _DSM is not called anymore by nouveau (when support from the PCI > core is detected) and this sequence should instead happen: > - \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._PS3 (does nothing besides updating _STA) > - PCIe core removes power for the PCIe port since all its children are in > D3 and are willing to transition to D3cold.
