According to Documentation/power/pci.txt, the correct suspend sequence is: A reference implementation ------------------------- .suspend() { /* driver specific operations */ /* Disable IRQ */ free_irq(); /* If using MSI */ pci_disable_msi(); pci_save_state(); pci_enable_wake(); /* Disable IO/bus master/irq router */ pci_disable_device(); pci_set_power_state(pci_choose_state()); } Whereas atl2 calls pci_save_state() *before* free_irq() and pci_disable_msi(). Hilarity ensues on resume as pci_restore_state() restores a state with MSI enabled; the atl2 resume handler then enables msi for the second time. Looking at /proc/interrupts, it seems to leak an irq each time this happens. (I had 6 entries for "eth0" by the time I noticed this). It also triggers a warning. I was able to avoid the warning + leak by re-ordering the resume method. Patch attached - it's just a few lines, I hope that's all that's necessary. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at drivers/pci/msi.c:570 pci_enable_msi+0x3a/0x1cd() Modules linked in: cpufreq_stats freq_table nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat rfkill_input ae Pid: 2620, comm: NetworkManager Tainted: G W 2.6.28-rc4eeepc #136 Call Trace: [] warn_on_slowpath+0x40/0x59 [] raw_pci_read+0x4d/0x55 [] pci_read+0x1c/0x21 [] __pci_find_next_cap_ttl+0x44/0x70 [] __pci_find_next_cap+0x1a/0x1f [] pci_find_capability+0x28/0x2c [] pci_msi_check_device+0x53/0x62 [] pci_enable_msi+0x3a/0x1cd [] atl2_write_phy_reg+0x40/0x5f [atl2] [] dma_generic_alloc_coherent+0x0/0xd7 [] atl2_request_irq+0x15/0x49 [atl2] [] atl2_open+0x20b/0x297 [atl2] [] dev_open+0x62/0x91 [] dev_change_flags+0x93/0x141 [] do_setlink+0x238/0x2d5 [] rtnl_setlink+0xa9/0xbf [] mutex_lock+0xb/0x19 [] rtnl_dump_ifinfo+0x0/0x69 [] rtnl_setlink+0x0/0xbf [] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x185/0x19f [] sock_rmalloc+0x23/0x57 [] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x0/0x19f [] netlink_rcv_skb+0x2d/0x71 [] rtnetlink_rcv+0x14/0x1a [] netlink_unicast+0x184/0x1e4 [] netlink_sendmsg+0x233/0x240 [] sock_sendmsg+0xb7/0xd0 [] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2b [] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2b [] mempool_alloc+0x2d/0x9e [] scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x35/0x4f [] mutex_lock+0xb/0x19 [] unix_stream_recvmsg+0x357/0x3e2 [] copy_from_user+0x23/0x4f [] verify_iovec+0x3e/0x6c [] sys_sendmsg+0x18d/0x1f0 [] sys_recvmsg+0x146/0x1c8 [] sys_recvmsg+0x1b4/0x1c8 [] __wake_up+0xf/0x15 [] netlink_table_ungrab+0x17/0x19 [] copy_to_user+0x25/0x3b [] move_addr_to_user+0x50/0x68 [] sys_getsockname+0x6f/0x9a [] sys_getsockname+0x89/0x9a [] do_wp_page+0x3ae/0x41a [] handle_mm_fault+0x4c5/0x540 [] sys_socketcall+0x176/0x1b0 [] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x21 ---[ end trace ad80134e35e20aad ]---
