- Around line 338-343: Update the platform-profile change handling in
`check_platform_profile()` to record a kernel-originated modify suppressed
during a TuneD switch, then re-read and reconcile the profile after
`CLOSE_MODIFY_BUFFER` expires. Distinguish TuneD’s final write from a hotkey
change so it does not trigger reconciliation as a user change.
- Around line 383-386: Replace wall-clock timing with monotonic timing
throughout the switch and close-buffer windows: update the timestamp assignments
and comparisons in PlatformProfileEventHandler and the tuned-switch flow,
including _tuned_switch_in_progress() and the timestamps set when a switch
starts or finishes. Keep each window’s existing duration and behavior unchanged.

- Line 389: Update the TuneD-switch suppression check around
`_tuned_switch_started` so suppression remains active until the profile action
completes, rather than expiring after five seconds. Preserve a separate fallback
deadline for a lost `profile_changed` signal, and ensure completion clears the
active suppression state.

- Line 340: Update the switch-event suppression around _tuned_switch_in_progress
and check_platform_profile so platform-profile events generated during a TuneD
switch remain suppressed if delivered after the finish callback. Preserve
suppression for pending switch events or use a bounded post-signal window,
without suppressing unrelated events indefinitely.
- Around line 397-398: Update the switch flow around the `_tuned_switch_started`
and `_tuned_switch_finished` assignments to clear the switch state when
`switch_profile()` fails, so platform-profile monitoring resumes immediately;
preserve the suppression window for successful switches.
- Line 259: In the profile_changed callback, validate that the signal matches
the current switch before updating _tuned_switch_finished; only record
completion for the switch the signal completes, so stale signals cannot end
suppression for a newer switch.

I wonder whether we want to keep the original logic (checking that the platform profile file was modified without being opened before). It's apparently unreliable so we might as well drop it altogether and just rely on the new logic. Thoughts? |

I think we still need it, for writes that tuned-ppd doesn't initiate and so can't bracket with the new window. The main case is a TuneD switch requested elsewhere, e.g. I tested this with
So without the check, tuned-ppd overrides every TuneD profile picked outside of it. The 2 of 5 with the check are the same concurrent-reader problem as in the commit message, just for switches tuned-ppd didn't request. Today the check is all there is for those, and it doesn't always work. I'd keep the check in this PR and look at making it more robust in a separate one, since that changes the handling of all non-tuned-ppd writers. Does that sound OK? |

Ah, yes, you are right. |
With sysfs_acpi_monitor enabled, switching the PPD profile (e.g. from the Plasma or GNOME power widget) is often reverted to "balanced" right away. When TuneD switches profiles, it first rolls back the old profile, which writes the original platform_profile value (e.g. "balanced"), then reads the current value to store it for the next rollback, and only then writes the new value. The kernel delivers the IN_MODIFY for a sysfs write asynchronously (kernfs_notify), and PlatformProfileEventHandler only filters it by tracking open/close of the file with a single boolean flag and a 100 ms buffer after the last write. Any other reader of the file defeats this: an IN_OPEN resets _last_close and the reader's IN_CLOSE_NOWRITE clears _file_open, even while TuneD still has the file open for writing. The IN_MODIFY then passes the filter, tuned-ppd reads the intermediate rollback value, treats it as a firmware (hotkey) change and switches back to that profile. Readers are common: e.g. asusd on ASUS laptops reads platform_profile on every change. On an ASUS ROG Flow X13 (GV302XV, asus-wmi platform profile) with asusd running, 6 of 8 switches to performance/power-saver were reverted; with asusd stopped, 0 of 8. Counting open handles instead of a flag is not enough either, as programs may keep the file open permanently to poll() it for changes. A change seen while tuned-ppd's own TuneD profile switch is being applied is TuneD's, so ignore platform profile changes from requesting the switch until TuneD signals profile_changed. TUNED_SWITCH_TIMEOUT bounds this window in case the signal never arrives. A hotkey press during that short window is ignored, which is the same as pressing it just before the switch. With the change, all switches were applied correctly with asusd running (12 of 12, and 16 of 16 with the final version). Hotkey (Fn+F5) changes were still picked up (tested with an earlier version that ignored changes for 100 ms longer). Logging every platform_profile event on the 16 switches showed all of them between the switch request and the profile_changed signal (8-98 ms after the request), none after it. The window is tied to the profile tuned-ppd requested last. When two switches follow each other closely, TuneD emits profile_changed for the first profile while stopping it for the second switch, and that late signal must not end the window of the second switch. With 10 pairs of back-to-back switches and asusd running, one platform_profile event got through without this check (39 ms after the stale signal), none with it. If TuneD rejects a switch, it has already rolled back the old profile and applies it again, so the window then ends with the signal for that profile.

With
sysfs_acpi_monitor=true, switching the PPD profile from the desktop power widget is often reverted to "balanced" right away. The commit message has the full analysis; in short:platform_profile, reads it to store it for the next rollback, and then writes the new value.IN_MODIFYfor sysfs writes asynchronously.PlatformProfileEventHandlerfilters it with a single_file_openflag and resets_last_closeon everyIN_OPEN, so any concurrent reader (asusd on ASUS laptops reads the file on every change) lets the event through. tuned-ppd then reads the intermediate rollback value and switches back to it.The fix ignores platform profile changes while tuned-ppd's own TuneD switch is being applied, from the
switch_profilecall until theprofile_changedsignal plus the existing 100 ms buffer. A timeout covers a lost signal. I also tried counting open handles, but programs that keep the file open topoll()it would then block hotkey detection completely.Tested on ASUS ROG Flow X13 GV302XV (asus-wmi platform profile), Fedora 44, tuned 2.28.0, with the patch applied to the installed
controller.py. Profiles were switched over D-Bus every 3 s:Hotkey (Fn+F5) changes were still detected with the patch.
Prepared with AI assistance. I ran the tests on my laptop and reviewed the change.
