Power Management

Power Management — Power Management related helpers

Functions

Includes

#include <igt.h>

Description

This library provides various helpers to enable power management for, and in some cases subsequently allow restoring the old behaviour of, various external components that by default are set up in a way that interferes with the testing of our power management functionality.

Functions

igt_pm_enable_audio_runtime_pm ()

void
igt_pm_enable_audio_runtime_pm (void);

We know that if we don't enable audio runtime PM, snd_hda_intel will never release its power well refcount, and we'll never reach the LPSP state. There's no guarantee that it will release the power well if we enable runtime PM, but at least we can try.

We don't have any assertions on open since the user may not even have snd_hda_intel loaded, which is not a problem.


igt_pm_enable_sata_link_power_management ()

int8_t *
igt_pm_enable_sata_link_power_management
                               (void);

Enable the min_power policy for SATA link power management. Without this we cannot reach deep runtime power states.

We don't have any assertions on open since the system might not have a SATA host.

Returns

An opaque pointer to the data needed to restore the default values after the test has terminated, or NULL if SATA link power management is not supported. This pointer should be freed when no longer used (typically after having called restore_sata_link_power_management()).


igt_pm_restore_sata_link_power_management ()

void
igt_pm_restore_sata_link_power_management
                               (int8_t *pm_data);

Restore the link power management policies to the values prior to enabling min_power.

Caveat: If the system supports hotplugging and hotplugging takes place during our testing so that the hosts change numbers we might restore the settings to the wrong hosts.

Parameters

pm_data

An opaque pointer with saved link PM policies; If NULL is passed we force enable the "max_performance" policy.
