Subject: [PATCH] ACPI PM: Restore the 2.6.24 suspend ordering

Hi Len,

Please consider pushing the appended patch for 2.6.25.

It fixed the regression described at:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10340

details in the changelog.

Thanks,
Rafael

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

Some time ago it turned out that our suspend code ordering broke
some NVidia-based systems that hung if _PTS was executed with one of
the PCI devices, specifically a USB controller, in a low power state.
Then, it was noticed that the suspend code ordering was not compliant
with ACPI 1.0, although it was compliant with ACPI 2.0 (and later),
and it was argued that the code had to be changed for that reason
(ref. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9528).  So we did,
but evidently we did wrong, because it's now turning out that some
systems have been broken by this change (refs.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10340 ,
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374217#c16).  [I said
at that time that something like this might happend, but the majority
of people involved thought that it was improbable due to the
necessity to preserve the compliance of hardware with ACPI 1.0.]
This actually is a quite serious regression from 2.6.24.

Moreover, the ACPI 1.0 ordering of suspend code introduced another
issue that I have only noticed recently.  Namely, if the suspend of
one of devices fails, the already suspended devices will be resumed
without executing _WAK before, which leads to problems on some
systems (for example, in such situations thermal management is
broken on my HP nx6325).  Consequently, it also breaks suspend
debugging on the affected systems.

Note also, that the requirement to execute _PTS before suspending
devices does not really make sense, because the device in question
may be put into a low power state at run time for a reason unrelated
to a system-wide suspend.

For the reasons outlined above, the change of the suspend ordering
should be reverted, which is done by the patch below.
