dmesg log

Gentoo linux ver. 4.9.16 - using vgaswitcheroo, modesetting and nouveau.

My laptop is a Tuxedo XC1706 (aka Schenker XMG P706 aka Clevo P671RG)
(i7-6700HQ/GTX 970M), external outputs (HDMI and 2 x DP) are wired to the
NVIDIA card. The intel HD only has the laptop screen attached.

Issue 1 (minor):
----------------
Without pcie_port_pm=off and on battery I see DynOff, but ~26W with powertop
(i.e. nvidia card is not turned off).

With pcie_port_pm=off and on battery I see DynOff and 16-18W with powertop
(i.e. nvidia card is turned off).

Issue 2:
--------
With pcie_port_pm=off and on AC I always see DynPwr even though the nvidia card
is unused (see below) - shouldn't this change to DynOff when unused? Is there a
workaround way to force this to DynOff?

Workaround to force DynOff when on AC and nvidia card not in use: Use powertop
to toggle all tunables "Bad" into "Good" (probably only need to toggle the
nvidia PCI).

When the nouveau driver is loaded, runtime PM for the Nvidia PCI device
(01:00.0 in your case) should be enabled. Without pcie_port_pm=off this will
also enable runtime PM for the parent device, a PCIe port.

Any reason why you boot with acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Linux? If you want to prevent
a lockup that occurs with Clevo P6xxRx models, try acpi_osi="!Windows 2015"
(see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156341)

Yes, I agree. Why is the Nvidia card not going to DynOff when on AC and not
being used then? I can force it by using powertop, but why does this not happen
automatically?

Ok, but then I don't understand why without pcie_port_pm=off I get a higher
power consumption? I mean, the parent device should power down the entire PCIe
port incl. the Nvidia card? And before linux kernel 4.8 (I think)
pcie_port_pm=off was not needed, so what happened?

Because while acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" does prevent the lockup, I still have
some Fn keys that are not working (notably those that adjust screen brightness,
but others as well). With acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Linux all of my Fn keys are
working, incl. no lockup.

Please show the output of "lspci -nn". If you boot your laptop with an external
display plugged in, you will additionally have a HDMI audio function (01:00.1)
which must also have runtime PM enabled for the whole thing to power down.

In powertop, what are the states for the Nvidia PCI device(s) and its root
parent port before you change anything?

> Ok, but then I don't understand why without pcie_port_pm=off I get a higher

See above, if there are other children, then these must also have runtime PM
enabled or the parent will refuse to enter suspend.

> And before linux kernel 4.8 (I think) pcie_port_pm=off was not needed,
> so what happened?

Currently there are two methods to turn off the power on modern Nvidia devices:
 - ACPI "DSM". The nouveau driver will call a special device-specific ACPI
method  during runtime PM transitions.
 - ACPI Power Resources (since Linux 4.8). This means that when all devices
(PCI root port and its children) are idle, the power resources can be turned
off. This is a standard method that does not require a specific video driver,
hence if you do not load nouveau but enable runtime PM, it will also work.

Why is the second method preferred? The second method is the standard one since
Windows 8 and vendors might not test the former method. The former method is
known to result in memory corruption issues on some models (bug 78530) and in
other cases it will not fully reduce power consumption (resulting in increased
heat, more fan noise and lower battery life).

Upgrade to kernel 4.10 or newer, then your brightness keys should work without
forcing acpi_osi=Linux. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123651

I don't boot my laptop with any external display plugged in.

Ok, but you say that I can't use the second (preferred) option when I load the
nouveau driver - so I must use pcie_port_pm=off. Shouldn't the nouveau driver
be updated to support the second option in stead?

Not so, I am already on kernel 4.9.34:

There is your problem. You have something that modifies runtime PM settings. In
the default configuration, runtime PM would be enabled for both. Try
removing/disabling that problematic tool.

nouveau has been updated at the same time to support the new, preferred option.
But if you use pcie_port_pm=off, it will fallback to the old method.

4.9 is too old, use 4.10 (TEN) or newer.

Hmm, ok, I do have laptop_mode enabled, so I tried stopping that, but still see
"Bad" for those when on AC?

Arrg, sorry, seems I can't read :-)

Have you removed the pcie_port_pm=off option?
Is the nouveau driver loaded?

Didn't know I had to do that. Without the pcie_port_pm=off option I do get
"Good" initially (on AC). When on battery, power use is high (28W vs. 16-18W)
though state is DynOff. When I plug in AC again, Nvidia card is "Bad" again
(and DynPwr).

So for now I think I'll stick with pcie_port_pm=off.

Have to use pcie_port_pm=off, but I can live with that.
