Hi

I've noticed this in my message log while suspending my P1 machine
(and unplugging it from my docking station).

----
kernel: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in
drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c:4575:36
kernel: shift exponent -1 is negative

My laptop: ThinkPad P16v Gen 1, 64G RAM, 16 AMD Cores

The WARN itself should be removed by
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251119094650.799135-1-suraj.kandpal@xxxxxxxxx

however, the above fix doesn't have other effects besides removing the
WARN message/stack trace, so the slow-down you describe must have a
differrent root cause than using a -1 as a shift value above. A wild
guess is that it's some timeout trying to access the sink (which is
inaccissible because the sink was unplugged) and the corresponding MST
timeout being rather long (up to 4 sec per MST programming step).

I'd suggest opening an AMD DRM driver ticket to get a better idea,
attaching there a dmesg log taken after booting with debug enabled (at
least adding the drm.debug=0x15e kernel param) and reproducing the
problem.


Ok - I think I've found matching symptoms in this thread:

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f41-is-sluggish-after-resuming-from-suspend-fixed-by-a-restart/147352/2

I guess I need to start to 'think' when I plug & unplug cables from the laptop before suspend...
