It's not clear to me whether it is safe to leave devices enabled while we sleep. I don't see an actual problem, but there might be something related to hotplug while we're asleep or something. So I'll cc: some additional people who might have some insight. RFC: PNP: do not stop/start devices in suspend/resume path Do not disable PNP devices in the suspend path. We still call the driver's suspend method, which should prevent further use of the device, and the protocol suspend method, which may put the device in a low-power state. This means we will not disable the device and release its resources. The driver suspend method typically does not release its resources in the suspend path. For example, if we have: 03f8-03ff : 00:06 03f8-03ff : serial pnp_stop_dev() would release the 00:06 region, which still has a child. This causes a warning from __release_resource and corrupts /proc/ioports. However, we should do this the same way Windows does, so if Windows disables devices before going to sleep, we should, too. It doesn't *look* necessary to me because - In the ACPI 3.0b spec, I can't find any mention of _DIS in connection with sleep. And Device Object Notifications, Section 5.6.3, Table 5-43, says we should get a bus check after awakening if hardware was removed while we slept. This: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810079.aspx makes a similar point about how the OS re-enumerates devices as a result of a power state change (3rd last paragraph of text). - This: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa489874.aspx suggests that Windows only stops a device to rebalance hardware resources.
