Bug#913018: Update: bug is probably in laptop-mode-tools (linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64: Chromium repeatedly freezes for few seconds on battery power after upgrade to 4.18.0-2)

2018-11-07 Thread ebik
By git bisect on linux-stable kernel tree I got to commit 0c8b7991f40d
ata: libahci: Correct setting of DEVSLP register

This suggested future research and I realized, that laptop-mode-tools
sets drivers to lowest power mode which has setting
BATT_SATA_POLICY=min_power
in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/intel-sata-powermgmt.conf
Above mentioned commit enables DEVSLP in this mode. Moreover this
kernel has 'med_power_with_dipm' setting which is near 'min_power' but
without DEVSLP.

Bug#913018: Acknowledgement (linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64: Chromium repeatedly freezes for few seconds on battery power after upgrade to 4.18.0-2)

Update: Vim (or terminal emulator - terminology) is also affected by
this. When filling the bugreport, vim repeatedly freezed and then
rendered new letters in wrong place (Ctrl-L was quick-fix). I did not
filled this in previous report as I was not sure some Vim plugin did
not cause this, but now I'm on 4.18.0-1-amd64 and happy vimming.
