The behavior of linux (in both 2.4.x and 2.6.x) is when the processor sleeps, timeouts on select don't take into account the sleep time, only the run time. For example, this program should pause for 10 minutes -- however if we go into S3 in the middle its pausing for (10 minutes + time in S3) I saw this on both 2.6.20 and 2.6.22... marty -----Original Message----- From: linux-pm-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-pm-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pavel Machek Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 10:30 AM To: Leisner, Martin Cc: linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: select with timeout across S3 On Wed 2008-08-27 15:23:13, Leisner, Martin wrote: > What's a good way to "wait" across a transition to/from processor sleep > (acpi S3 or other means)? > > > It seems the timeouts on select(2) only deal with with time correctly > when the processor is awake -- when the processor is sleeping its not > subtracted from the request... > > The desirable behavior out of select would be for it to timeout whenever > the system wakes up if the desired interval has elapsed... That sounds like a bug. Can you write small demo program and post it to lkml? -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
