It would be better for me if your series applied directly to my "master" branch (v5.3-rc1). This v5 depends on Mika's series (which I've since applied), and also on Krzysztof's linux/pci-aspm.h cleanup. But neither of them is essential for your series, and I put them on different topic branches since Mika's isn't ASPM-related while Krzysztof's is. That makes it messy to merge them and apply yours on top (it could certainly be *done*, but I just avoid that sort git complication). Both of those *are* cleanups that are relevant to your series, but it's easier if your series applies directly to my "master" branch, and I can take care of the merge issues when I merge all the branches together. > v2: > - use a dedicated sysfs attribute per link state > - allow separate control of ASPM and PCI PM L1 sub-states > > v3: > - patch 3: statically allocate the attribute group > - patch 3: replace snprintf with printf > - add patch 4 > > v4: > - patch 3: add call to sysfs_update_group because is_visible callback > returns false always at file creation time > - patch 3: simplify code a little > > v5: > - rebased to latest pci/next > > Heiner Kallweit (4): > PCI/ASPM: add L1 sub-state support to pci_disable_link_state > PCI/ASPM: allow to re-enable Clock PM > PCI/ASPM: add sysfs attributes for controlling ASPM link states > PCI/ASPM: remove Kconfig option PCIEASPM_DEBUG and related code Nit here, please capitalize the first word of each subject, e.g., PCI/ASPM: Add L1 PM Substate support to pci_disable_link_state() and "L1 PM Substate" to match the spec usage, and I like "()" after function names as a hint.

Background of this extension is a problem with the r8169 network driver. Several combinations of board chipsets and network chip versions have problems if ASPM is enabled, therefore we have to disable ASPM per default. However especially on notebooks ASPM can provide significant power-saving, therefore we want to give users the option to enable ASPM. With the new sysfs attributes users can control which ASPM link-states are disabled. Note: Series depends on series "PCI: Make pcie_downstream_port() available outside of access.c" from Mika Westerberg that is still sitting in the PCI inbox. Alternatively I could prepare a version w/o this dependency, but then Mika's series would need to be changed. v2: - use a dedicated sysfs attribute per link state - allow separate control of ASPM and PCI PM L1 sub-states v3: - patch 3: statically allocate the attribute group - patch 3: replace snprintf with printf - add patch 4 v4: - patch 3: add call to sysfs_update_group because is_visible callback returns false always at file creation time - patch 3: simplify code a little v5: - rebased to latest pci/next Heiner Kallweit (4): PCI/ASPM: add L1 sub-state support to pci_disable_link_state PCI/ASPM: allow to re-enable Clock PM PCI/ASPM: add sysfs attributes for controlling ASPM link states PCI/ASPM: remove Kconfig option PCIEASPM_DEBUG and related code Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-pci | 13 ++ drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c | 10 +- drivers/pci/pci.h | 12 +- drivers/pci/pcie/Kconfig | 7 - drivers/pci/pcie/aspm.c | 236 ++++++++++++++++-------- include/linux/pci.h | 10 +- 6 files changed, 195 insertions(+), 93 deletions(-)
