Petr,

I dropped hp patch no long see the hang during suspend to s3. However,
the problem seems to be this line,

diff --git a/drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.c
b/drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.c index 390e50b..b61da57 100644
--- a/drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.c
+++ b/drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.c
@@ -574,7 +574,7 @@ static void stop_power_clamp_worker(unsigned long
cpu) */
        del_timer_sync(&w_data->wakeup_timer);
        clear_bit(w_data->cpu, cpu_clamping_mask);
-       kthread_destroy_worker(w_data->worker);
+//     kthread_destroy_worker(w_data->worker);
 
        w_data->worker = NULL;
 }

If I do the above, everything works with S3 and CPU HP patch.

Inside kthread_destroy_worker()
	kthread_flush_worker(worker);
never completes then blocks s3 entry!

I will be at LPC next week also, we can chat about that.


Thanks,

Jacob
