Linux 6.15.2 Fixes "Quite Dramatically...Potentially Dangerous" Idle Power Regression


Along with releasing Linux 6.14.11 today to end-of-life the Linux 6.14 kernel series, Greg Kroah-Hartman released Linux 6.15.2 as the newest stable point release

Linux power management subsystem maintainer and Intel engineer Rafael Wysocki explained with the revert commit: Later on, when the processor attempts to enter a deep package C-state, including PC10 which is requisite for reaching minimum power in suspend-to-idle, it is not able to do that because of the SMT siblings staying in C1 (which they have been put into by HLT). The new kernels can be downloaded from kernel.org.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
