Hello
Hi,

With recent 2.6.25 & 2.6.26-rc1 git (around 1 week) I get
occasionally
complete freeze of my T61 during suspend. (dual core, 2GB).
How reproducible is this?

I'm running kernel with no_console_suspend - but all I can see is
blinking cursor on an empty screen - thus even when I run kernel with
most debug options turned on, I can't pass more details so far. I
run
suspend with with SD card in - so maybe some update in the MMC driver
might be responsible for this ?

Also - I think that option no_console_suspend doens't work
correctly -
as many times with suspend I do not see any log message on my console
screen. However sometimes the log is shown.
It would be helpful if you could verify if:

(1) The problem occurs without no_console_suspend.
(2) The problem occurs without the SD card.

Hi Rafael,

same problem here, although I was able to resume system (it's
basically Intel
machine) , but it was unusable - I was able to switch between
terminals and see
output from kernel. So there was:
- Disabling irq #19;
- some kind of lock spinning on disk:
IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA
Storage
Controller IDE (rev 02)
but I can't provide more output of that lock now - no sign in logs.

I've made some successful suspend/resume all without sound card active
without
problem. Those appear with sound card active, but I must take closer
look - will
send info later.
Can you post your dmesg and /proc/interrupts output from normal bootup ?
Sure I can ;)

Well, if IRQ 19 got disabled, that's your SATA controller, so resume
likely isn't going to work. Could be a libata problem? CCing linux-ide.
Yep, I know, that's why I pointed that out. Irq was disabled somehow in suspend
or resume process.

BTW, if your BIOS offers an option to enable AHCI on your SATA
controller then that would be a more optimal configuration (could get
NCQ support), but that is an aside.
With AHCI I've got pretty bad timings (and I don't really know why!):

[root|20:49|~]$ cat sda_ahci_t

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1560 MB in 2.00 seconds = 780.51 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.02 seconds = 33.74 MB/sec
[root|20:49|~]$ cat sda_piix_t

/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 1544 MB in 2.00 seconds = 772.35 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 134 MB in 3.04 seconds = 44.05 MB/sec

Here's the latest report (all on latest git):
1) I've switched to AHCI mode and suspend/resume works OK (because SATA
controller irq is not disabled).

2) now /proc/interrupts look like that:

Disabling IRQ #19

Hmm, so either it's the SATA controller still generating that IRQ even when it's in AHCI mode, or else it's USB that's the real problem..


This might happen due to "ACPI: EC: GPE storm detected, disabling EC GPE", but
here it should revert to polling mode (which is done during boot, but not during
resume). I'm not expert here.

That does seem unusual, but it doesn't seem directly related (ACPI is on IRQ9).

PS: Site note: Why there's such big difference on hdparm timings with PATA and
AHCI mode?

You can narrow that down by doing this with AHCI in use:

echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth

which will disable NCQ but keep AHCI. If that brings the performance back up, then quite likely your drive's NCQ implementation isn't really optimized for sequential reads..
