2.6.10-mm2: swsusp problem with resuming on batteries (AMD64)

2.6.10-mm2: swsusp problem with resuming on batteries (AMD64)

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi,

On 2.6.10-mm2, if swsusp suspends my box on AC power and then it's resumed on 
batteries, the box reboots after (or while) suspending devices (ie before 
restoring the image).  This is 100% reproducible, it appears.

The box is an Athlon 64 laptop on NForce 3.

Greets,

Can you try without cpufreq support? If we attempt to do 2GHz on AC
power, machine may die ugly death.

Athlon 64 probably means it's running an x86_64 kernel. Wasn't there
another thread on lkml about -mm2 swsusp and x86_64? I wonder if it's
the same problem (or a related one).

Yes, there was.

The other thread was about the hang caused by the timer driver on suspend 
(which I'm still trying to understand, but it takes time ;-)).

That problem is rather not related to this one, because I'm currently using a 
slightly modified kernel in which the function timer_resume() (that caused 
the hang) is a noop.

Forcing machine to 800MHz before suspend may do the trick, too.

How can I do this?

echo "0%44%44%powersave" > /proc/cpufreq if you have that interface
enabled. Or simply turn off CONFIG_CPUFREQ in config.

I turned off CONFIG_CPUFREQ and it helped.  Still, cpufreq is a neat feature 
and I'd like to keep it in the kernel. :-)

Yes, uh, what you have to do is add suspend/resume routines to
cpufreq. Always force it to lowest frequency in
device_suspend()... and force it to rescan AC/battery status before
going to higher frequency.
