I'm equally nervous about this change - it affects every suspend+resume cycle that people do on those boxes which are working just fine currently. btw., it would get a lot more coverage on my test-systems if this commit in tip/out-of-tree: | commit 01259383c345d13b70efcc549439927ae64dc66d | Author: David Brownell | Date: Fri May 16 10:12:36 2008 +0200 | | sleepy linux self-test was upstream and if it was enabled more prominently, instead of hidden behind the rather obscure condition of: config PM_TEST_SUSPEND bool "Test suspend/resume and wakealarm during bootup" depends on SUSPEND && PM_DEBUG && RTC_LIB=y and even then it needs certain other config options related to RTC_LIB to actually work during bootup. As a result of all this obstruction, the automated testing i do, which builds and boots more than 1 random kernel per minute, will only run this self-test once every hour or so. I dont mind if this option breaks boxes (that its purpose: it does the same thing that a real suspend+resume does and suspend+resume frequently breaks boxes), but right now it's all obscured so heavily which makes automated testing a lot harder than it should be. it would be wonderful if this excellent suspend+resume self-test was upstream and was more prominent! :-) Ingo
