This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 2.6.26.  Please don't
close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.
Comment 1 Soeren Sonnenburg 2008-10-08 07:45:53 UTC
I finally found the time to test your patch 
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122307130419753&w=4
on 2.6.27-rc9. Same thing. I actually managed to trigger the hang by issuing find / >/dev/null .
Comment 2 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-10-08 10:05:21 UTC
It's a different problem, then.

I'm observing something similar on a MSI Wind, but I suspect in my case it's caused by the out-of-the-tree wireless driver, which is buggy.

It may be related to a low memory corruption too (bug #11237).
Comment 3 Soeren Sonnenburg 2008-10-27 04:24:58 UTC
2.6.28-rc2 hangs completely on resume, so cannot tell if this is related/whether this bug is still there.
Comment 4 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-10-27 04:37:43 UTC
Can you please try with this patch from bug #11827:

?
Comment 5 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-11-16 11:05:14 UTC
Have you tried the patch from comment #4?
Comment 6 Zhang Rui 2008-11-20 21:44:17 UTC
ping soeren. :)

Comment 8 Zhang Rui 2008-12-08 19:45:02 UTC
Please attach the dmesg output after the first s2ram.

use s3ram for the first suspend/resume, and then
# cat /sys/power/pm_test 
[none] core processors platform devices freezer
#echo {core,processors,platform,devices,freezer} > /sys/power/pm_test
#echo mem > /sys/power/state
wait and see if the laptop can resume back in about 10 seconds and tell me in which mode the laptop freezes
Note that you don't need to press the power button.

Comment 10 Soeren Sonnenburg 2008-12-09 13:55:53 UTC
Regarding comment #8: I ran all the tests in the order core ... freezer, but I did not see any hang. Anyway I am attaching the dmesg before and after s2ram and all of these attempts. 

The problem is, that it is not reliably freezing on the >=2nd resume, but just sometimes and sometimes also in the middle of doing some work...

yes, still happens with commit 6c34bc2976b30dc8b56392c020e25bae1f363cab
Comment 15 Shaohua 2008-12-23 22:51:27 UTC
how about boot option 'nohz=off'"
Comment 16 Soeren Sonnenburg 2009-01-01 12:00:39 UTC
nope, same thing. I am admittedly seeing hangs every now and then already on resume, so I cannot be sure if this is all the same bug. As the console display is left blank after resume, I will have to wait for kms for ati-radeons to be in-kernel to see any potential clues on the console.
Comment 17 Zhang Rui 2009-10-15 07:52:11 UTC
does the problem still exists in the latest kernel, say 2.6.31?

Well the problem got worse, s2ram works a couple of times and causes
disk corruptions at some point... anyway I no longer own this machine...
