Hi Lukas,

>From Analyze suspend logs I see the following functions calls during S3 resume. 

During root port "resume"
   pci_pm_resume
	pcie_port_device_resume
		pciehp_resume
			pcie_enable_slot
				pciehp_check_link_status
					msleep(100) --> delay before read_pcie conf

The dmesg logs also show that by removing msleep dealy we are able to improve pcie root port resume time from ~185ms to ~16ms.

I understand that this delay is part of the spec. When we suspend root ports using these patches - (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg49313.html) , we see that it adds considerable delay during pcie root port resume.

1)  Could you please suggest if there is an alternate way how we can reduce root port resume time?

2) If it not possible to remove this delay. Could you please suggest if we can make this change local to our kernel? Our devices are able to come out of D3 and we see no issues. 

Thanks and regards,
