The following is a hack to illustrate what I'm getting at (this is tested on x86-64) (it's a hack since it does all the ACPI prepare bits during set_target() for the pre ACPI 3.0 systems, rather than prepare() - whether this can be cleaned up to move out just the _PTS() call, I don't know). It abuses suspend_ops->set_target(), but was the easiest way to quickly demonstrate this (since the kerneldoc for set_target() says it will always be executed before we suspend the devices). -Carlos --- drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c b/drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c index 96d23b3..89e708b 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c @@ -77,8 +77,19 @@ static int acpi_pm_set_target(suspend_state_t pm_state) } else { printk(KERN_ERR "ACPI does not support this state: %d\n", pm_state); - error = -ENOSYS; + return -ENOSYS; } + + /* + * For ACPI 1.0 and 2.0 systems, we must run the preparation methods + * before we put the devices into low power mode. + */ + if (acpi_gbl_FADT.header.revision < 3) { + error = acpi_sleep_prepare(acpi_target_sleep_state); + if (error) + acpi_target_sleep_state = ACPI_STATE_S0; + } + return error; } @@ -91,10 +102,17 @@ static int acpi_pm_set_target(suspend_state_t pm_state) static int acpi_pm_prepare(void) { - int error = acpi_sleep_prepare(acpi_target_sleep_state); + int error = 0; - if (error) - acpi_target_sleep_state = ACPI_STATE_S0; + /* + * For ACPI 3.0 or newer systems, we must run the preparation methods + * after we put the devices into low power mode. + */ + if (acpi_gbl_FADT.header.revision >= 3) { + error = acpi_sleep_prepare(acpi_target_sleep_state); + if (error) + acpi_target_sleep_state = ACPI_STATE_S0; + } return error; } _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
