Description Dâniel Fraga 2008-04-20 00:06:06 UTC
Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25
Earliest failing kernel version: all
Distribution: Linux from scratch
Hardware Environment: Athlon64 x2 (x86-64), Asus M2N-E
Software Environment: 
Problem Description:

When I use s2ram to suspend to ram, everything works, except the network (forcedeth) that doesn't come back from suspend. So I have to reboot the machine.

Steps to reproduce:

1) s2ram

2) then wake up from suspend

3) network isn't working anymore

No, that's not right.  Please tell us the latest version of the kernel
which worked OK.

	No versions worked. Since I acquired this motherboard (Asus
M2N-E), I couldn't suspend because of the NIC.

	Is there any test I can do to help you figure it out what's
happening? Thanks.
Comment 3 Francesco Cosoleto 2008-08-04 09:48:00 UTC
I have a similar problem with suspend to disk, but I use modprobe to re-init the kernel module (modprobe -r forcedeth ; modprobe forcedeth), so network is working without a reboot.
Comment 4 Francesco Cosoleto 2008-08-21 16:36:32 UTC
Fixed in 2.6.27-rc4.
Comment 5 Dâniel Fraga 2008-10-07 22:02:19 UTC
Well, I tested with 2.6.27-rc8 and it still doesn't work. I can't even set the default gateway after it wake up from S3. It returns "network unreachable".
Comment 6 Dâniel Fraga 2008-10-27 13:36:31 UTC
I tested again with 2.6.28-rc2 and it still doesn't work. Just as an update report. It has the same behaviour as before: I can't even set the
default gateway after it wake up from S3. It returns "network unreachable".
Comment 7 Francesco Cosoleto 2008-11-20 01:07:08 UTC
Does "modprobe -r forcedeth ; modprobe forcedeth" as root works?

No. It always returns "network unreachable" when it returns from S3, when setting the route.
Comment 9 Colomban Wendling 2008-12-27 13:34:23 UTC
Hi,

I have a similar (probably the same) problem with a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard (nVidia nForce 570 SLI chipset; nVidia Corp. MCP55 Ethernet (rev a3)) when suspending with pm-* (using s2ram). I've tested with Debian's 2.6.26-* and with the official 2.6.28-rc9.
With the 2.6.28-rc9, after resume the driver seems not to recognize the link (nothing visible on the logs when I plug/unplug the cable) and the interface doesn't work. I can do up/down on the interface, but nothing better happens. A reload of the driver after resume time doesn't make things working better.
With Debian's 2.6.26 the behavior is the same but removing the driver after resume fully freezes the kernel.

But with both Debian's 2.6.26 and official 2.6.28-rc9, if I remove the driver before suspending and reload if after, it works well.

Regards,
Colomban W.

Jeff did this go anywhere?  I see a suggested patch at the URL below, though I cannot work out from the thread whether this was sensible nor whether it was enough?

I will take a look at this issue.
Comment 13 Ayaz Abdulla 2009-01-26 13:41:05 UTC
Can you send me the output of "lspci -xxx", "cat /proc/interrupts", "ethtool -d ethX" before (during working state) and after waking from sleep (during non-working state)?

Ok, I'll attach 2 files: before.txt and after.txt with the requested information.

Could you please provide more data from the lspci command? It is only showing upto offset 0x3C. I would like to see upto offset 0xFC. Thanks.

Sorry Ayaz. I'm attaching the correct lspci output. I forgot to run it with sudo.

Bingo! It solved the problem! I'm changing this bug to FIXED. Thank you very much!
Comment 23 Colomban Wendling 2009-02-06 07:20:50 UTC
Well done! It seems to work perfectly for me too (tested by patching 2.6.28.3), thanks a lot :)
Comment 24 maximilian attems 2009-03-09 06:30:04 UTC
well it be cool if that fix would land upstream, didn't see it even yet in linux-next

Could you please send it to be merged in 2.6.30? I don't understand why this patch wasn't merged in 2.6.29 since it solves the issue.

Well, I noticed that although this patch solves the issue on 2.6.28 and 2.6.29, on 2.6.29 it will make the connection stall after a while. So, the solution is in the patch, but it will introduce a new bug... :( It's getting complicated.
Comment 27 Dâniel Fraga 2009-03-24 10:53:59 UTC
Forget my last message. The patch works fine with 2.6.29. So you can merge it in for 2.6.30.
Comment 28 eth0problem 2009-03-26 16:33:13 UTC
My NIC is not working correctly after using this patch with the 2.6.29 kernel. It stalls after a short time (5~40 minutes) and it stalls faster if any kind of load is placed on it. This now occurs with both the patched and unpatched forcedeth module. It is also no longer detected/functional when trying to boot with the 2.6.27 or 2.6.28 kernel although the forcedeth module is being loaded. It was working fine all the way up through 2.6.28.8 using this patch. I have attached the lspci while working and the lspci after it stalls and I try to restart the network. Please help me, thank you.

Please ignore my previous posts and attachments. It looks like it was caused by the issue below and there is a patch that fixes it. Thanks for the previous patch, I hope it gets merged upstream.
