[Bug 1283384] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad T420s] regression idle power consumption 7W->12W

 

I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out what commit caused this
regression. We need to identify the earliest kernel where the issue
started happening as well as the latest kernel that did not have this
issue.

Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for
the first kernel version that exhibits this bug:

v3.12 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-trusty/
If v3.12 final does not exhibit the bug, we should move on to testing some of the v3.13 release candidates.

v3.13-rc3: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc3-trusty/

If v3.13-rc3 does not exhibit the bug then test v3.13-rc6:
v3.13-rc6: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc6-trusty/

If v3.13-rc3 does exhibit the bug then test v3.13-rc2:
v3.13-rc2: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13-rc2-trusty

You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the kernel that first
has this bug.

Thanks in advance!

Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad T420s] regression idle power consumption 7W->12W

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi, didn't notice this before but looks like my laptop is consuming a
  lot more power than on saucy, and it's not caused by i915 locked on to
  higher gpu frequency (checked
  /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo).
