    Kernel power bug fixed?

    Today I came across this:
    Linux Kernel Power Bug Is Fixed

    Sound good. How does one implement this?

    To use it now, you would have to compile your kernel with the patch. https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/10/467 The author suggests more testing though. It hasn't been merged into the kernel yet. Maybe 3.2 if it doesn't eat your hamster.

      From the Phoronix article:

      "For systems where ASPM is no longer enabled, the PCI-E ASPM support can be forced by passing "pcie_aspm=force" when booting the kernel. However, that assumes the user is aware of this power-sucking issue in the first place and is aware of editing their GRUB configuration, etc. It is a workaround for power users, but is not a solution to the fundamental issue."
