[RFC v2 09/10] acpi/x86: s2idle: Listen to idle hints to perform MS transitions
From: Antheas Kapenekakis
Date: Sat Apr 25 2026 - 18:02:34 EST
Modern Standby capable devices allow controlling their appearance by
userspace to appear inactive or asleep while the system is still running.
Expose these states to userspace as idle hints, so userspace can
leverage "dark resume" states to perform background tasks while the
system appears asleep.
If userspace is not idle-aware, transition to snooze and back to active
as part of the normal begin() and end() callbacks, so that normal
functionality (e.g., pulsing the power light) is maintained.
In addition, in case we have fired the intent to turn display on
notification and are in the resume idle state, the transition to s2idle
is undefined behavior. Therefore, momentarily transition to active and
back to snooze and emit an error, instead of bailing.
