Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] ata: Fix SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY description in Kconfig
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2025 16:52:04 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250627075207.23969-4-dlemoal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250627075207.23969-1-dlemoal@kernel.org>
Improve the description of the possible default SATA link power
management policies and add the missing description for policy 5.
No functional changes.
Fixes: a5ec5a7bfd1f ("ata: ahci: Support state with min power but Partial low power state")

Select the Default SATA Link Power Management (LPM) policy to use
for chipsets / "South Bridges" supporting low-power modes. Such
chipsets are ubiquitous across laptops, desktops and servers.
-
- The value set has the following meanings:
+ Each policy combines power saving states and features:
+ - Partial: The Phy logic is powered but is in a reduced power
+ state. The exit latency from this state is no longer than
+ 10us).
+ - Slumber: The Phy logic is powered but is in an even lower power
+ state. The exit latency from this state is potentially
+ longer, but no longer than 10ms.
+ - DevSleep: The Phy logic may be powered down. The exit latency from
+ this state is no longer than 20 ms, unless otherwise
+ specified by DETO in the device Identify Device Data log.
+ - HIPM: Host Initiated Power Management (host automatic transisitons
+ to partial and slumber).
+ - DIPM: Device Initiated Power Management (device automatic
+ transitions to partial and slumber).
+
+ The possible values for the default SATA link power management
+ policies are:
0 => Keep firmware settings
- 1 => Maximum performance
- 2 => Medium power
- 3 => Medium power with Device Initiated PM enabled
- 4 => Minimum power
-
- Note "Minimum power" is known to cause issues, including disk
- corruption, with some disks and should not be used.
+ 1 => No power savings (maximum performance)
+ 2 => HIPM (Partial)
+ 3 => HIPM (Partial) and DIPM (Partial and Slumber)
+ 4 => HIPM (Partial and DevSleep) and DIPM (Partial and Slumber)
+ 5 => HIPM (Slumber and DevSleep) and DIPM (Partial and Slumber)
+
+ Excluding the value 0, higher values represent policies with higher
+ power savings.
