We currently only enter PC8+ after all its required conditions are met, there's no rendering, and we stay like that for at least 5 seconds. I chose "5 seconds" because this value is conservative and won't make us enter/leave PC8+ thousands of times after the screen is off: some desktop environments have applications that wake up and do rendering every 1-3 seconds, even when the screen is off and the machine is completely idle. But when I was testing my PC8+ patches I set the default value to 100ms so I could use the bad-behaving desktop environments to stress-test my patches. I also thought it would be a good idea to ask our power management team to test different values, but I'm pretty sure they would ask me for an easy way to change the timeout. So to help these 2 cases I decided to create an option that would make it easier to change the default value. I also expect people making specific products that use our driver could try to find the perfect timeout for them. Anyway, fixing the bad-behaving applications will always lead to better power savings than just changing the timeout value: you need to stop waking the Kernel, not quickly put it back to sleep again after you wake it for nothing. Bad sleep leads to bad mood! Signed-off-by: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> |
