BTW, I see that the ASPM L1SS capability is supported by only two endpoints
viz. KIOXIA's NVMe drive and Realtek's Card reader. None of the root ports
seem to have the support. So, I'm wondering how was it even getting enabled in
the first place earlier?

(OR)

was it the case that L1SS sub-states were never enabled earlier also and the
issue was occurring without having ASPM L1SS enabled? (but with only L0s and
L1 enabled??)

I'm not proficient enough in PCIe to be able to be sure of the answers to those-
what can/could I do to determine this?
Nothing at this point, but could you please confirm that you are using the same system as before? if that is the case, then, I'm not sure how is it possible that the earlier patch which is also for saving/restoring L1SS registers could affect a system that doesn't even support L1SS.

Bjorn, any thoughts on this?


Also, I see that from 'before' and 'after' logs that for both NVMe and Card
reader and their corresponding root ports, none of the ASPM states are enabled
(not even L0s or L1).
Did you set the policy to 'powersupersave' before hibernating the system?

Yeah:

CONFIG_PCIEASPM_POWER_SUPERSAVE=y

My laptop loses ~1.5%/hr in S3; I was trying anything I could to reduce that,
if possible.
