Hi,
I found a rather odd but potentially dangerous bug on my platform. I'm
using the latest 2.6.31.4-rt14 kernel on a Lenovo T400 laptop.
I have a script which does some battery optimizing when I unplug my
laptop from the AC. Apparently, the option controlling SATA link power
management is the culprit.
This is how it works:
I'm using pm-utils to execute scripts on power event changes. When the
AC is disconnected, the following command is executed:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
When the AC is re-connected, this is the command:
echo max_performance > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
At this point, some GNOME icons disappear and every command in
terminal or mouse click in Xorg just returns input/output error or
some combo box with gibberish characters. When I change to a VT, the
kernel says "can't flush to disk" or something like that. Bottom line,
nothing works and I must shutdown by holding the power button 3
seconds.
The tricky part is that doing those two commands by hand (disabling
the pm-utils script which does it, remove the AC, set min_power,
insert the AC, set max_performance) doesn't crash the computer! Only
when the script is run automatically by pm-utils it crashes. So I
guess the timing is important here.
This bug is always reproducible and does not happen with Debian kernel
2.6.30.2. I didn't test any other kernel, not even the 2.6.31.4
vanilla.
Below I'm sending the script which does the pm-utils action and my
lspci -vv. Is there any advice you can give me?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
my pm-utils script (all the irrelevant commands are commented; the
script crashes the laptop as it is, I tried every single command by
itself)
if [ ! $1 ]
then
echo "ERROR: Argument must be on or off"
exit 1
fi
if [ $1 = on ]
then
#xset dpms 0 0 600
#echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
#a ultrabay tem de ser ejectada ANTES de mudar o link power
#/usr/local/sbin/ultrabay_eject
#echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy
exit 0
else if [ $1 = off ]
then
#xset dpms 0 0 1500
#echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
echo max_performance >

#echo max_performance >
