Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to avoiding damage to a transistor in a power-sinking device that receives power from an external power source via a Universal Serial Bus port. In one aspect, a controller of the device sets a current limit to a reduced level during a wait period after the external power source is connected to the power-sinking device. The wait period avoids damage to the transistor by allowing its input and output voltages to equalize before the current is increased. Upon expiration of the wait period, the current limit is increased to a level negotiated with the external power source. Other aspects involve considering a sleep or low/dead battery state of the power-sinking device. The current limit can be set by programming a current limit of a battery charger coupled to between the transistor and a power bus of the device.

In one example, the technology places the external display in a low power state after the AC power failure is detected.

Abstract: USB ports such as Type-C USB-C ports in a personal computer (PC) or other computing device may be configured in dual-role port (DRP) mode. The DRP mode may provide the ability for a port to switch between providing power to an external device and receiving power from an external power source to the into the computing device. The voltage level received from an external power source is typically higher than the voltage level provided to an external device. When a USB device fails, it may apply the higher voltage level to an external device, which may cause the external device to fail. A voltage sense and device detection circuit which may be used to detect an internal failure and prevent a higher internal voltage to be applied to a USB device.

Abstract: Network-efficient isolation environment redistribution is described. In one example, network communications are surveyed among isolation environments, such as virtual machines (VMs) and containers, hosted on a cluster. An affinity for network communications between the isolation environments can be identified based on the survey. Pairs or groups of the isolation environments can be examined to identify ones which have an affinity for network communications between them but are also hosted on different host machines in the cluster. The identification of the affinity for network communications provides network-level context for migration decisions by a distributed resource scheduler. Certain VMs and/or containers can then be migrated by the distributed resource scheduler to reduce the network communications in the cluster based on the network-level context information.
