--- Comment #13 from H. Peter Anvin <h...@zytor.com> 2010-12-09 23:16:47 --- "Play dead" and "go to sleep" are not necessarily the same things -- in particular, there may be operations that are appropriate when going to sleep but not when offlining -- e.g. invoking ACPI routines -- and there may be operations which we can do when we're going to lose state anyway, i.e. entered an otherwise-disabled MWAIT state. That doesn't mean this couldn't be added to the cpuidle framework, but using the cpuidle framework as it currently sits would be unacceptably dangerous. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
