Summary

On hardware where the kernel ACPI platform_profile sysfs exposes only one of Quiet / LowPower for the same semantic profile (different ASUS DMI quirks expose different names — e.g. GA503QR exposes quiet balanced performance, never low-power), setting the absent variant fails with:

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported:
RogPlatform: platform_profile: (low-power) not supported

even when the equivalent IS in choices. The existing fallback in set_platform_profile_on_battery / set_platform_profile_on_ac only handled Quiet -> LowPower, and the bare set_platform_profile D-Bus property had no fallback at all.

This PR makes the alias bidirectional everywhere it matters:

  • set_platform_profile (asusd/src/ctrl_platform.rs:469) — substitutes Quiet <-> LowPower when the requested variant isn't in platform_profile_choices but its semantic equivalent is.
  • set_platform_profile_on_battery (~line 523) and set_platform_profile_on_ac (~line 562) — extended from one-direction to bidirectional, so the canonical name (the one the kernel exposes) is what gets persisted to /etc/asusd/asusd.ron.
  • select_power_profile_for_source (~line 260) — extended to normalize both directions at apply-time, fixing stale-config rehydration after reboot or AC/BAT transitions.

Background — relation to #648

The CLI-string-parsing portion of GitLab issue #648 was fixed by GitLab MR !226 (commit 9366b0e) which made low-power / lowpower / LowPower / low_power all parse to PlatformProfile::LowPower. That fix is necessary but not sufficient: the parsed enum then reaches set_platform_profile, which checks choices.contains(&policy) and rejects on hardware exposing only the kernel-renamed sibling name. This PR closes that follow-up gap.

EPP / behavior preservation

EPP outcomes are unchanged. Both Quiet and LowPower already map to the same source in:

  • get_config_epp_for_throttle (asusd/src/ctrl_platform.rs:254-255) — both → profile_quiet_epp
  • impl From<PlatformProfile> for CPUEPP (rog-platform/src/cpu.rs:209-210) — both → CPUEPP::Power

So substitution does not affect what EPP gets written; only what name is stored in config and which sysfs string the kernel sees.

Test plan — executed locally on patched daemon

Tested live on GA503QR (linux-g14 7.0.5, /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile_choices = quiet balanced performance) via a swap-in-place patched daemon (systemctl stop asusd; systemd-run /target/release/asusd):

# Command Pre-patch Post-patch Result
1 asusctl profile set LowPower NotSupported (low-power) kernel=quiet, active=Quiet ✅ FIX
2 asusctl profile set Quiet works works ✅ no regression
3 asusctl profile set Balanced works works ✅ no regression
4 asusctl profile set Performance works works ✅ no regression
5 asusctl profile set NotARealProfile CLI parser rejects CLI parser rejects ✅ no regression
6 asusctl profile set LowPower -b broken / wrong config config persists Quiet (canonical), applied ✅ FIX
7 asusctl profile set LowPower -a broken / wrong config config persists Quiet (canonical), applied ✅ FIX

Config persistence verified — /etc/asusd/asusd.ron after set LowPower -b -a:

platform_profile_on_battery: Quiet,
platform_profile_on_ac: Quiet,

(both stored as Quiet, the available canonical name, not LowPower).

cargo check -p asusd and cargo build --release -p asusd both clean on ogc/main tip.

What we did NOT validate locally

This hardware exposes quiet balanced performance only — never low-power. So the reverse direction of the bidirectional fallback (a user passing Quiet on a hypothetical low-power-only machine) was reasoned-through (matches the existing one-direction precedent) but not hardware-tested. The patch is a strict no-op when the requested profile IS in choices, so on dual-choice or LowPower-only hardware the behavior should be unchanged from before this PR.

Reviewer notes

  • Pre-existing behavior left untouched: set_platform_profile writes config (line 480 in main) before validating against choices. The alias substitution doesn't widen that pre-existing window — the substitution only triggers when the validation would otherwise reject. Worth a separate cleanup PR if desired.
  • No tests exist under #[cfg(test)] for set_platform_profile or the alias paths (verified via rg). Happy to add unit tests in a follow-up if maintainers prefer.

Thanks you. This looks like correct but I wonder why have you noticed it? Took the nvme of a laptop and reused in another laptop?

Anyway could you reorganize that code into function(s) and add a few test? Those are becoming too long for my taste.

On hardware where the kernel ACPI platform_profile sysfs exposes only one
of Quiet / LowPower for the same semantic profile (different ASUS DMI
quirks expose different names), setting the absent variant fails with
"platform_profile: (low-power) not supported" even when the equivalent IS
in choices.

The previous fallback in set_platform_profile_on_battery /
set_platform_profile_on_ac only handled Quiet -> LowPower, and the bare
set_platform_profile property had no fallback at all. This patch:

- Adds bidirectional Quiet <-> LowPower substitution in
  set_platform_profile so user-facing CLI/D-Bus calls succeed regardless
  of which name the kernel exposes.
- Extends the existing one-direction fallback in
  set_platform_profile_on_battery and set_platform_profile_on_ac to be
  bidirectional, so the canonical name is what gets persisted to
  /etc/asusd/asusd.ron.
- Extends select_power_profile_for_source to normalize both directions
  at apply-time, fixing stale-config rehydration after reboot.

EPP behavior is preserved: get_config_epp_for_throttle and
impl From<PlatformProfile> for CPUEPP already map both Quiet and
LowPower to the same source (profile_quiet_epp / CPUEPP::Power), so
substitution does not change EPP outcomes.

Tested live on GA503QR (linux-g14 7.0.5, platform_profile_choices =
quiet balanced performance) against a swap-in-place patched daemon:

- asusctl profile set LowPower -> kernel writes 'quiet', active=Quiet
  (previously errored NotSupported)
- asusctl profile set Quiet / Balanced / Performance unchanged
- asusctl profile set LowPower -b / -a -> config persists 'Quiet'
  (the canonical name for this hardware), not LowPower
- CLI parser still rejects bogus profile names at argument-parse time

Closes gitlab #648 follow-up (the CLI-parsing portion was fixed by
gitlab MR !226 / commit 9366b0e but the platform-aliasing portion at
the D-Bus property layer was not addressed).

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Profile selection now automatically resolves aliases to the closest supported platform profile.
    • Quiet and Low Power profiles can substitute for one another when only one is available.
    • AC and battery profile settings consistently save the resolved supported profile.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved fan setup loading and default resets when the preferred Quiet profile is unavailable.
    • Added clearer handling and logging when a requested profile is rewritten.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared Quiet and LowPower alias resolution. The daemon uses it for configured, direct, AC, and battery profile selection. Fan-curve loading and reset operations use the same resolution logic.

Changes

Platform profile alias resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Alias resolution contract and tests
rog-platform/src/platform.rs
PlatformProfile::resolve_alias substitutes unavailable Quiet and LowPower profiles when the alternate is available. Tests cover substitutions, unchanged profiles, and unavailable aliases.
Daemon profile selection and persistence
asusd/src/ctrl_platform.rs
Profile requests and configured AC or battery profiles resolve aliases before validation, persistence, and application.
Fan-curve profile selection
rog-control-center/src/ui/setup_fans.rs
Initial fan-curve loading, reset operations, and refreshed data use the resolved profile against available platform profiles.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2e8ac

The PR normalizes the equivalent Quiet and LowPower profile names across direct setting, power-source configuration, and rehydration, while preserving existing EPP behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
