It has been reported to cause significant -power savings. - -Contents --------- - -* Introduction -* Installation -* Caveats -* The Details -* Tips & Tricks -* Control script -* ACPI integration -* Monitoring tool - - -Installation ------------- - -To use laptop mode, you don't need to set any kernel configuration options -or anything. Simply install all the files included in this document, and -laptop mode will automatically be started when you're on battery. For -your convenience, a tarball containing an installer can be downloaded at: - -http://www.samwel.tk/laptop_mode/laptop_mode/ - -To configure laptop mode, you need to edit the configuration file, which is -located in /etc/default/laptop-mode on Debian-based systems, or in -/etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on other systems. - -Unfortunately, automatic enabling of laptop mode does not work for -laptops that don't have ACPI. On those laptops, you need to start laptop -mode manually. To start laptop mode, run "laptop_mode start", and to -stop it, run "laptop_mode stop". (Note: The laptop mode tools package now -has experimental support for APM, you might want to try that first.) - - -Caveats -------- - -* The downside of laptop mode is that you have a chance of losing up to 10 - minutes of work. If you cannot afford this, don't use it! The supplied ACPI - scripts automatically turn off laptop mode when the battery almost runs out, - so that you won't lose any data at the end of your battery life. - -* Most desktop hard drives have a very limited lifetime measured in spindown - cycles, typically about 50.000 times (it's usually listed on the spec sheet). - Check your drive's rating, and don't wear down your drive's lifetime if you - don't need to. - -* If you mount some of your ext3/reiserfs filesystems with the -n option, then - the control script will not be able to remount them correctly. You must set - DO_REMOUNTS=0 in the control script, otherwise it will remount them with the - wrong options -- or it will fail because it cannot write to /etc/mtab. - -* If you have your filesystems listed as type "auto" in fstab, like I did, then - the control script will not recognize them as filesystems that need remounting. - You must list the filesystems with their true type instead. - -* It has been reported that some versions of the mutt mail client use file access - times to determine whether a folder contains new mail. If you use mutt and - experience this, you must disable the noatime remounting by setting the option - DO_REMOUNT_NOATIME to 0 in the configuration file. - - -The Details ------------ - -Laptop mode is controlled by the knob /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode. This knob is -present for all kernels that have the laptop mode patch, regardless of any -configuration options. When the knob is set, any physical disk I/O (that might -have caused the hard disk to spin up) causes Linux to flush all dirty blocks. The -result of this is that after a disk has spun down, it will not be spun up -anymore to write dirty blocks, because those blocks had already been written -immediately after the most recent read operation. The value of the laptop_mode -knob determines the time between the occurrence of disk I/O and when the flush -is triggered. A sensible value for the knob is 5 seconds. Setting the knob to -0 disables laptop mode. - -To increase the effectiveness of the laptop_mode strategy, the laptop_mode -control script increases dirty_expire_centisecs and dirty_writeback_centisecs in -/proc/sys/vm to about 10 minutes (by default), which means that pages that are -dirtied are not forced to be written to disk as often. The control script also -changes the dirty background ratio, so that background writeback of dirty pages -is not done anymore. Combined with a higher commit value (also 10 minutes) for -ext3 or ReiserFS filesystems (also done automatically by the control script), -this results in concentration of disk activity in a small time interval which -occurs only once every 10 minutes, or whenever the disk is forced to spin up by -a cache miss. The disk can then be spun down in the periods of inactivity. - -If you want to find out which process caused the disk to spin up, you can -gather information by setting the flag /proc/sys/vm/block_dump. When this flag -is set, Linux reports all disk read and write operations that take place, and -all block dirtyings done to files. This makes it possible to debug why a disk -needs to spin up, and to increase battery life even more. The output of -block_dump is written to the kernel output, and it can be retrieved using -"dmesg". When you use block_dump and your kernel logging level also includes -kernel debugging messages, you probably want to turn off klogd, otherwise -the output of block_dump will be logged, causing disk activity that is not -normally there. - - -Configuration -------------- - -The laptop mode configuration file is located in /etc/default/laptop-mode on -Debian-based systems, or in /etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on other systems. It -contains the following options: - -MAX_AGE: - -Maximum time, in seconds, of hard drive spindown time that you are -comfortable with. Worst case, it's possible that you could lose this -amount of work if your battery fails while you're in laptop mode. - -MINIMUM_BATTERY_MINUTES: - -Automatically disable laptop mode if the remaining number of minutes of -battery power is less than this value. Default is 10 minutes. - -AC_HD/BATT_HD: - -The idle timeout that should be set on your hard drive when laptop mode -is active (BATT_HD) and when it is not active (AC_HD). The defaults are -20 seconds (value 4) for BATT_HD and 2 hours (value 244) for AC_HD. The -possible values are those listed in the manual page for "hdparm" for the -"-S" option. - -HD: - -The devices for which the spindown timeout should be adjusted by laptop mode. -Default is /dev/hda. If you specify multiple devices, separate them by a space. - -READAHEAD: - -Disk readahead, in 512-byte sectors, while laptop mode is active. A large -readahead can prevent disk accesses for things like executable pages (which are -loaded on demand while the application executes) and sequentially accessed data -(MP3s). - -DO_REMOUNTS: - -The control script automatically remounts any mounted journaled filesystems -with appropriate commit interval options. When this option is set to 0, this -feature is disabled. - -DO_REMOUNT_NOATIME: - -When remounting, should the filesystems be remounted with the noatime option? -Normally, this is set to "1" (enabled), but there may be programs that require -access time recording. - -DIRTY_RATIO: - -The percentage of memory that is allowed to contain "dirty" or unsaved data -before a writeback is forced, while laptop mode is active. Corresponds to -the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio sysctl. - -DIRTY_BACKGROUND_RATIO: - -The percentage of memory that is allowed to contain "dirty" or unsaved data -after a forced writeback is done due to an exceeding of DIRTY_RATIO. Set -this nice and low. This corresponds to the /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio -sysctl. - -Note that the behaviour of dirty_background_ratio is quite different -when laptop mode is active and when it isn't. When laptop mode is inactive, -dirty_background_ratio is the threshold percentage at which background writeouts -start taking place. When laptop mode is active, however, background writeouts -are disabled, and the dirty_background_ratio only determines how much writeback -is done when dirty_ratio is reached. - -DO_CPU: - -Enable CPU frequency scaling when in laptop mode. (Requires CPUFreq to be setup. -See Documentation/admin-guide/pm/cpufreq.rst for more info. Disabled by default.) - -CPU_MAXFREQ: - -When on battery, what is the maximum CPU speed that the system should use? Legal -values are "slowest" for the slowest speed that your CPU is able to operate at, -or a value listed in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies. - - -Tips & Tricks -------------- - -* Bartek Kania reports getting up to 50 minutes of extra battery life (on top - of his regular 3 to 3.5 hours) using a spindown time of 5 seconds (BATT_HD=1). - -* You can spin down the disk while playing MP3, by setting disk readahead - to 8MB (READAHEAD=16384). Effectively, the disk will read a complete MP3 at - once, and will then spin down while the MP3 is playing. (Thanks to Bartek - Kania.) - -* Drew Scott Daniels observed: "I don't know why, but when I decrease the number - of colours that my display uses it consumes less battery power. I've seen - this on powerbooks too. I hope that this is a piece of information that - might be useful to the Laptop Mode patch or its users." - -* In syslog.conf, you can prefix entries with a dash ``-'' to omit syncing the - file after every logging. When you're using laptop-mode and your disk doesn't - spin down, this is a likely culprit. - -* Richard Atterer observed that laptop mode does not work well with noflushd - (http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/), it seems that noflushd prevents laptop-mode - from doing its thing. - -* If you're worried about your data, you might want to consider using a USB - memory stick or something like that as a "working area". (Be aware though - that flash memory can only handle a limited number of writes, and overuse - may wear out your memory stick pretty quickly. Do _not_ use journalling - filesystems on flash memory sticks.) - - -Configuration file for control and ACPI battery scripts -------------------------------------------------------- - -This allows the tunables to be changed for the scripts via an external -configuration file - -It should be installed as /etc/default/laptop-mode on Debian, and as -/etc/sysconfig/laptop-mode on Red Hat, SUSE, Mandrake, and other work-alikes. - ---------------------CONFIG FILE BEGIN------------------------------------------- -# Maximum time, in seconds, of hard drive spindown time that you are -# comfortable with.
