In response to a wake-up notification on the PCI bus, the ACPI driver will complete the PCI driver's WAIT_WAKE IRP to notify the PCI driver that it is waking the system.

Scenario 2: PCI power management and device drivers ACPI driver: Runs ASL code (_PS3 and _OFF for power resources no longer in use) to control the state external to the chip.PCI driver: Saves Plug and Play configuration, disables the device (interrupts and BARs), and puts the device in D3 using PCI-PM registers.Device driver: Saves proprietary device state.

The following scenarios show the order in which drivers are called to handle these devices.įor the above scenarios to work as described, a WDM driver must forward POWER IRPs correctly as described in the current version of the Microsoft Windows DDK. The OnNow architecture is a layered architecture, handling the integration of the device driver, PCI driver, and ACPI driver (and ASL) naturally. Note that ASL and PCI-PM can only be combined on motherboard devices. ASL would control the external state, such as external clocks and power planes, or in the case of video controllers, ASL would control the video backlights. The PCI Power Management registers would control the internal state of a device, such as internal clocks and power planes. Some devices, particularly motherboard video devices in portables, may require both PCI Power Management as well as ACPI Source Language Assembler (ASL) to completely power manage the device. The device driver's responsibility is to perform only proprietary actions. Doing so would cause the system to not work reliably. PCI-PM registers are strictly the domain of the PCI driver-the IHV's device driver does not need to access any of these registers. In some cases, there may be nothing to save. When the device driver receives a POWER IRP requesting a lower device power state change, the device driver is responsible for saving any proprietary device context needed to later turn on the device. Finally, when ACPI determines that the PCI bus is waking the system, the PCI driver scans PCI configuration space looking for which device is asserting PME, disables PME in that device, and notifies the driver for that device.ĭevice driver: The specific driver for the device is responsible for saving and restoring device context, and requesting power state changes as the policy owner for the device. When a device is enabled for wake-up, the PCI driver writes to PCI-PM registers to enable the device to fire PME (ACPI will also take an action, see the next section). When POWER IRPs request power state changes, the PCI driver writes to the PCI power management registers to set the hardware to different Dx states. For PCI-PM, the PCI driver is responsible for reading the PCI-PM registers to determine the capabilities of the hardware. In general, the responsibilities for device drivers are as follows:īus drivers: Bus drivers are responsible for enumerating, configuring, and controlling devices. This discussion assumes that you are familiar with how Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers handle power management events, as described in the current Windows DDK. For more information, see Device drivers and PCI power management This article clarifies some confusion that vendors have experienced about how hardware that complies with PCI Power Management (PCI-PM) interacts with device drivers in the operating system and about how PCI-PM integrates with ACPI.
