The GPU fails to enter Runtime D3

The GPU fails to enter Runtime D3 (D3cold) power state. Attempts to query power management attributes via sysfs result in Input/Output errors, suggesting the GPU or its PCI interface becomes unresponsive to power management queries immediately after initialization. The GPU remains in D0 state continuously, draining battery, despite no active processes using it.

System Information:
   * OS: Arch Linux (Rolling)
   * Kernel: 6.17.8-arch1-1
   * GPU: NVIDIA T600 Laptop GPU (Turing architecture)
   * CPU: Intel Core 11th Gen (TigerLake-H) with UHD Graphics
   * Driver Version : 580.105.08

Diagnostic:

Re: The GPU fails to enter Runtime D3

after removing

 bumblebee primus_vk xf86-video-nouveau lib32-primus

I got more data

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0/power
Runtime D3 status:          Not supported
Video Memory:               Active

GPU Hardware Support:
 Video Memory Self Refresh: Not Supported
 Video Memory Off:          Supported

S0ix Power Management:
 Platform Support:          Supported
 Status:                    Disabled

Notebook Dynamic Boost:     Not Supported

but I still have

cat: '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/autosuspend_delay_ms': Input/output error

And I'm still stuck on D0

EDIT: disabling the GSP (enablingNVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0) is even better

cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0000:01:00.0/power

Runtime D3 status:          Enabled (fine-grained)
Video Memory:               Active

GPU Hardware Support:
 Video Memory Self Refresh: Supported
 Video Memory Off:          Supported

S0ix Power Management:
 Platform Support:          Supported
 Status:                    Disabled

Notebook Dynamic Boost:     Not Supported

but still stuck on D0 et still have the Input/output error

Re: The GPU fails to enter Runtime D3

iommu=pt

Are you trying to vfio the GPU?

Does it respond to

nvidia-smi

nb. that nvidia-smi will wake the GPU for sure, so if you're polling that or the GPU in any other form (test the behavior from the multi-user.target to make sure no fancy widget is checking the temperature there or stuff like that)

autosuspend_delay_ms is rather for USB runtime power management.
Speaking of which, does it help to "module_blacklist=nvidia_uvm,ucsi_ccg", https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters ?
