Hi Sarah,

Sorry for my delayed response, I was investigating this. By 'Inactive' state 
you mean the Compliance mode? since SS.Inactive and Compliance are not the same.

When in D3hot or D3cold, the host must be able to transmit a PME whenever a 
device is plugged into the DS port.  If a SS device is plugged into DS port and 
fails to make it to U0, the Port will land in Compliance or SS.Disabled.  If 
Compliance, then there will be no PME notification.  If it lands in 
SS.Disabled, the USB2 will be enabled and then a PME notification will be sent 
for USB2 connection. I just realized this.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Alexis Cortes.

Alex,

Can the USB 3.0 port go into the Inactive sate while the host is in D3hot or 
D3cold?  If so, will we see a PME that will cause the USB core resume the host? 
 I'm concerned that if we don't get a port status change event when the port 
goes into the Inactive state, then we won't get an interrupt if the port 
transitions to the Inactive state while the host is in D3.

If the ports can't go into the Inactive state while the host is in D3, then I 
agree with Alan that it's fine to delete the timer in xhci_suspend.

However, if the ports can to into the Inactive state and we won't get a PME, 
then we have to keep the timer running while the xHCI host is runtime suspended.
