Sorry I should mention the patch. I tried the 4.9.0 kernel and the patch: disable_pm_v4.9.patch fixes both the screen lock and firefox issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lukas Wunner" <lukas@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Kilian Singer" <kilian.singer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "Bjorn Helgaas" <helgaas@xxxxxxxxxx>, "linux-pci" <linux-pci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "Mika Westerberg" <mika.westerberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, "Rafael J.

Could you test either of the attached patches to confirm this theory? They disable runtime PM on this specific root port but allow it on all the others. You've got an Optimus laptop, i.e. power to the discrete GPU can be cut. Traditionally this is achieved by invoking an ACPI _DSM (Device Specific Method). That's what we did up until v4.7. However on newer laptops Windows no longer cuts power to the discrete GPU by invoking the _DSM, but rather by suspending the root port above the GPU. (More specifically by turning off Power Resources required for D3 of the root port, those are specified in a _PR3 object.) We started supporting this with v4.8. If the above theory is correct, we need to involve Optimus experts because this is not an issue then with powering down root ports in general, but rather specific to this Optimus use case.
