Thanks again.

Linux 6.1.2 Closed Out 2022 With Many Backported Fixes
Michael Larabel. 1 January 2023.
On New Year's Eve, Greg Kroah-Hartman released a new set of stable kernels with Linux 6.1.2, 6.0.16, and 5.15.86 LTS being the new set.

The Linux 6.1.2 release in particular comes in quite heavy with many fixes back-ported from the recently completed Linux 6.2 merge window. There are a ton of bug/regression fixes to find with Linux 6.1.2. The Linux 6.1 point releases and contained fixes are all the more important with Linux 6.1 likely to be the 2022 LTS kernel version..........

It's one of those machine specific things/quirks, and the generic distribution kernel doesn't provide it for various reasons.
If you have a laptop which supports ASPM and doesn't expose it in BIOS, it's great that the kernel can expose it.

Is CONFIG_PCIEASPM_POWER_SUPERSAVE=y required?

Does echo powersupersave > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy or pcie_aspm.policy=powersupersave not work?

Not really a laptop user, but I read somewhere that most laptops benefit from this.
I don't think it's required, I just set CONFIG_PCIEASPM=y and CONFIG_PCIEASPM_POWER_SUPERSAVE=y in my (6.1.x) kernels since Dec.
Slackware kernels (5.15.80) have CONFIG_PCIEASPM=y and CONFIG_PCIEASPM_DEFAULT=y
And whatever the case, on my machine; "cat /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy" returns this:

Code:

default performance powersave [powersupersave]

So, I don't think you can simply echo the "powersupersave" policy into sysfs.
The boot parameter might work, but I haven't tried that. I just compile it in, since I'd compile the custom kernel either way.

Kernel-6.1.3 built sans problems and is running fine with Nvidia-525.60.11. Logs look good.

The usual handful of btrfs fixes, of course, but... there's a million ext4 fixes!
