I have not tested it yet. I have no objection if a fix must go in now.
There is a slot for some sanity testing this evening.
The description of the patch implies that the initial power management
state is not right. I would be more inclined to set it correctly when
the device goes up instead of checking repeatedly for a loss of sync
through rtl8169_runtime_idle. Todd, any comment ?

There is no rush with this, I just was seeking your opinion :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The r8169 driver supports power management and correctly transitions from active to suspend when link transitions from connected to disconnected. However, if link is not connected at boot the device remains active after the initial probe. This change adds a check of the link status to the idle pm_op that will schedule a suspend if inactive.
