Subject: Linux Plumbers ACPI/PM, PCI Microconference

Linux Plumbers has approved an ACPI/PM, PCI microconference. The
overview page is here:

http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013:pci_subsystem

We would like to start receiving volunteers for presenting topics of
interest. There is a lot of activity in these subsystems so please
respond by submitting presentation or discussion proposals that you
would be willing to cover for consideration. You should also feel
free to submit ideas as proposals that others could cover. The
instructions for submitting ideas should be at:

http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013/submitting-topic/

This is the "Plumbers" conference so topics concerning userspace
interaction with the kernel and not just topics concerning pure kernel
subsystem internals would be greatly welcomed. As a possible aid
towards promoting topics for submissions we have listed a few
candidates that seem to meet the criteria in the microconference
proposals wiki located at
http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013:pci_subsystem

Last year, we had a good discussion on general issues in PCI space -
that also might be worth giving updates on.

If you have topics that you would like to add, wait until the
instructions get posted at the link above. If you are impatient, feel
free to email me directly (but probably best to drop the broad mailing
lists from the reply).

Thanks!

Len, Bjorn, Myron, Rafael



Yinghai - An update on host bridge hot-add capabilities, what is in
place and what still remains to be done, would seem like a good topic.

Shuah - You brought up the idea about "Converting drivers from Legacy
PM ops to dev_pm_ops"; would you like to present what you have
done/encountered so far?

Awesome. Yes, I would like to present what I have done so far and I do
have a couple of things that could benefit from a face to face
discussion which would help me make progress on the rest of the work
that needs to get done.

Thanks for putting this item on the agenda.

Somebody else privately suggested these ARM/PCI topics:

and I'm interested in those as well. There seems to be a lot of
activity in that area. In addition, I'm interested in ARM IOMMU
support. I see drivers/iommu/arm-smmu.c, but it's brand-new and I
haven't looked at it at all.

I second this topic. I am interested in ARM/iommu space also.

Care to sumbit a formal proposal through the LPC web page?

Rafael,

I did submit a formal talk proposal to LinuxCon/LPC and it was rejected.
Submission is closed now as far as I know.

Hi All,

The original announcement didn't go to linux-pm, so again:

If anyone who's going to attend the Linux Plumbers Conf this year is interested
in any particular topic for discussion during the ACPI/PM+PCI uconf, please
submit a formal topic proposal at:

http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013/ocw/events/LPC2013/proposals/new

If you submit a topic, that doesn't mean you'll be expected to present anything
(if accepted). In fact, we are mostly interested in discussion topics and we'd
like to know what is important to people.

That said if you have a (short) presentation to make, please submit it too.

We'll appreciate all submissions very much.

Thanks,
Rafael

What I have mind is a discussion topic for the Mini-conference, which
in-line with what you are asking for.
I will add it to the web. Thanks for pinging me on this.
