suspend resume cycle with debug

Suspend of root filesystem on USB, causes FS corruptions which crashes kernel
on mount attempt and making system unbootable.

Affects (at least) RedHat6.0+, Fedora13+ and Ubuntu10+.

Reconstruction (Native):
---------------
a) Install RedHat/Fedora/Ubuntu on USB drive.
b) Boot into user session
c) Suspend
d) Resume
e) Repeat c,d (up to 4 times) until kernel informs about filesystem corruption.
f) Reset the system -> Observe system inability to boot and kernel panic due to
corrupted FS.

Reconstruction (Forced):
---------------
a) Install any RedHat/Fedora/Ubuntu on USB drive.
b) Boot into user session
c) Suspend
d) Hard reset the system (Before performing resume) -> Observe system inability
to boot and kernel panic due to corrupted FS.

Actually report describes two severe issues:
--------------------------------------------
a) FS corruption during suspend/resume
b) Kernel panic when trying to mount affected FS (linux<2.6.38).

Facts:
------
*) Happens on systems with rootfs on USB.
*) When system returns from suspend, there is a chance of ~25% for rootfs on
USB to be remounted as readonly. Due to short inability to read from USB device
(device settle delay required) or/and corruption caused by non-finished commit before entering suspend.
*) Corruptions are silent, FS marked as clean, that's what causes Kernel oops
when it tries to mount corrupted FS marked as clean.
*) An attempt to mount affected EXT4 (on Linux<2.6.38) will results a crash.
*) Usually corruption might be fixed on another Linux system with fsck, with auto-mount de-activated.
*) Tested Kernels: Mainline (Ubuntu Natty mainline Daily), Ubuntu 2.6.3x, Fedora 2.6.3x and Redhat6 2.6.3x.

This still happens with latest kernel (3.12.3).

What's happening is that USB PERSIST is not working properly. I have CONFIG_USB_DEFAULT_PERSIST=y in the .config.

Despite that, after resume the device comes up in a different slot. Diff of the lsusb before and after:

# diff lsusb.{before,after}
1275c1275
< Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0781:5580 SanDisk Corp. SDCZ80 Flash Drive
---
> Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0781:5580 SanDisk Corp. SDCZ80 Flash Drive

Looks like the USB device is not there after resume. A comparison of the lsscsi before and immediately after resume:

# diff lsscsi.{before,after}
3d2
< [6:0:0:0]    disk    SanDisk  Extreme          0001  /dev/sdb

From the dmesg, we notice that USB device is disconnected after resume and reconnected and since the old slot has not been freed as yet, it uses the next device number.

Disconnect after resume.

That's where the same device has come up with device number 3.

Looks like I found what's happening. Its exact same thing as debugged in http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=137714769606183&w=2

/var/log/messages with Ext4-fs errors on resume

+1
Not sure if it is a re-numbering USB pronlem or not but I have similar configuration and symptoms :
I have a HP mini 311, with SD Card reader integrated (ums_realtek and usb_storage module)
My rootfs is on a SD Card, on /dev/sdb1
My system : OpenSuse 13.1, Linux hpmini 3.11.6-4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 30 18:04:56 UTC 2013 (e6d4a27) i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

When I run :
echo "============ SUSPEND NOW ================ " >> /var/log/messages ; pm-suspend ;

The system suspend normally, but when it resume, it freeze randomly after 5-20s.
Sometime it have time to save kernel error message to /var/log/messages (which I attached)

It looks like it failed to read/write on the rootfs, on the SD card on resume.

What weird is : I didn't have this problem with OpenSuse 12.2, kernel 3.4.63
Comment 7 devsk 2014-04-09 17:06:31 UTC
Anybody got any inputs on this issue?
Comment 8 devsk 2014-04-21 21:55:18 UTC
Finally, updated to 3.14.1. And same old same old. /dev/sda becomes /dev/sdc after resume and all hell breaks loose.
Comment 9 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2014-05-04 15:08:32 UTC
For USB issues, please post to linux-usb@vger.kernel.org, we don't do
bugzilla.

But you can read, right?

I am a developer myself. If this was the code written/maintained by me, I would take pride in fixing my code, no matter where the damn bug came from. I will ask for questions, search for clues whether it was mailing list or bugzilla or jira or google groups.

Honestly, after 3 years of the bug being ignored, I don't care about this bug anymore. So, I am not registering with some high frequency mailing list to provide you pretty much all the information I/we have already provided above.

You may close this bug now for all I care.

Through email, yes.

But I don't scale, which is why the USB developers don't use bugzilla.
Send to the mailing list and all USB developers get told about the
issue, not just one little person like me.

I am not the only developer of this code, and I maintain a few million
lines of code in the kernel tree.  Doing it all by myself is an
impossible task, so the community works together, which is how Linux
works.

You don't have to register with anything, just send an email, in
non-html form, and it will go through.
