USB ports remain powered during suspend

After the last update I noticed that every time I suspend my laptop the USB ports are still powered. Does anyone know what changed?

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

I haven't used suspend in ages, but when I last did (a year ago?) the USB ports were still powered during suspend anyway (drained my battery overnight because of that and not noticing my cooler fan was still turned on).

So I'd say that's expected behaviour? Unless you're talking about suspend-to-DISK (hibernate) of course.

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

This didn't happen to me before the last update, that's why I'm asking. When I suspended (to RAM) my laptop, the fan was powered down. Now I have it powered up all the time and I don't need that.

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

Same issue here, ever since I've upgraded from kernel 3.1.6 to 3.2.9...
There might be some options that have changed in the kernel config...

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

I noticed that since kernel 3.2 Wake-on-USB is enabled by default on my HTPC, I guess this is related.

see /proc/acpi/wakeup

you can toggle enabled/disabled by echoing the device into the file, e.g. echo USBE > /proc/acpi/wakeup. Although I don't know if this will also disable the power.

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

I've tried to use acpitool -W to change the state in /proc/acpi/wakeup without any success...the USB ports remain powered.

What I've done so far :

acpitool -w

Returns :

 Device	S-state	  Status   Sysfs node
  ---------------------------------------
  ...
  8. EHC1	  S3	*enabled   pci:0000:00:1d.7
  9. USB3	  S3	*enabled   pci:0000:00:1a.0
  10. USB4	  S3	*enabled   pci:0000:00:1a.1
  ...

EHC1 is my targeted devices

acpitool -W 8

There might be some kernel options that changes this behavior ?

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

Unloading uhci-hcd modules seems to fix this issue...
So I've just added

SUSPEND_MODULES="uhci_hcd"

to /etc/pm/config.d/modules to have it automatically unloaded/reloaded on suspend/resume wink

Re: USB ports remain powered during suspend

With systemd, pm-utils hooks are no longer supported. So, you might want to add a file in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep containing :

#!/bin/sh
case $1/$2 in
  pre/*)
    echo "Going to $2..."
    /sbin/modprobe -r uhci_hcd
    ;;
  post/*)
    echo "Waking up from $2..."
    /sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd
    ;;
esac
