Thanks for your report.

Let's try to figure out what broke it.

As a first step, please replace drivers/net/wireless/airo.c with the 
version in 2.6.18 and check whether this fixes the issue (you can ignore 
the deprecated warning during compilation).

i replaced airo.c with the 2.6.18 version. the good news is i can
suspend to memory with it. the bad news is dhcp never got an ip
address (so i don't think the 2.6.18 driver really works with the
2.6.19-rc1 infrastructure). any patches i could try? thanks.

I believe it was broken by:
http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3b4c7d640376dbccfe80fc4f7b8772ecc7de28c5

I have seen this in the -mm tree, but didn't follow up at the time.  I
was able to fix it with the following patch.  I don't know if it's the
best fix, but it seems to follow the same logic as the original code.


The airo driver used to break out of while loop if there were any signals
pending.  Since it no longer checks for signals, it at least needs to check
if it needs to be frozen.

thanks. with this patch applied i can suspend to ram with the airo
module loaded.

2.6.19-rc1: known regressions (v2)

[Adrian Bunk]

This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.19-rc1 compared to 2.6.18
that are not yet fixed Linus' tree.

If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch
of you was declared guilty for a breakage or I'm considering you in any
other way possibly involved with one or more of these issues.

Due to the huge amount of recipients, please trim the Cc when answering.

Strange, problem went away after reboot. I guess I'll write it off as
an acpi glitch... there's definitely something strange going on with
backlight around s2ram: during normal operation, backlight changes are
fast. After s2ram, backlight change from keyboard takes 300msec or so.

Is this a regression compared to 2.6.18 or an older issue?

If it's a regression can you bisect?

This was on a pre -rc1 git tree.
I've been using -rc1 since it's out and does not happen to me anymore.
So we probably can write this off as a memory corruption
issue that got fixed in between.

Slowness is not something I'd classify as serious problem, and
breakage is not reproducible. Ignore it for now.

Yes, I'm seeing that too.  It's not just keyboard brightness changes; 
gnome does some fadeup effect, which takes ~300ms/step as well.

2.6.19-rc1: known regressions (v3)

[Adrian Bunk]

This email lists some known regressions in 2.6.19-rc1 compared to 2.6.18
that are not yet fixed Linus' tree.

If you find your name in the Cc header, you are either submitter of one
of the bugs, maintainer of an affectected subsystem or driver, a patch
of you caused a breakage or I'm considering you in any other way possibly
involved with one or more of these issues.

Due to the huge amount of recipients, please trim the Cc when answering.

Should be fixed once Linus pulls the powerpc.git tree.

Unfortunately, this came back after using 2.6.19-rc1 for a couple of days
without reboot. And I just re-tested and was able to re-produce the problem on
2.6.19-rc2, as well. So the problem is still there, with the same symptoms:
after usig machine for a while, or under stress (e.g. if I do a full kernel
compile), I stop getting any ACPI events.

tail -f /var/log/acpid
does not show anything, even on Fn/F4 which is supposed ot be always enabled.
Restarting the acpid doesn't do anything either - ACPI starts working
again, for a while, only after reboot.

Worked fine under 2.6.18 (I was running vanilla + this patch
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/20/56 which made it into upstream since then).

Any ideas? How to debug this?
