Package: tlp Version: 1.1-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
powertop is sometimes overzealous to report configuration as "bad" while it isn't. Especially "interesting" cases are SATA link power management (where med_power_with_dipm is flaged as 'Bad') and VM writeback timeout (where anything != the powertop-decided 1500 is 'Bad'). I have just spent time to find out from the tlp code that it's the value of MAX_LOST_WORK_SECS_ON_BAT that get written to the dirty_writeback_centisecs value that powertop wants to be 14500 to badly. I was therefore able to determine that powertop is wrong here. Please consider writing into /etc/default/tlp information, which sysfs/procfs/other values are affected by a certain setting to make things easier for people without them having to look at the code. Thanks for providing tlp!
