Message-ID: <20111230235421.GA6054@redhat.com> Mail-Followup-To: Dave Jones , Linus Torvalds , Linux Kernel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org We're getting a bunch of reports against Fedora 16 (still using 3.1) which look like some drivers are trying to load firmware on resume from suspend, while usermodehelper is disabled. Here are some example traces: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746411 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771002 This possibly sounds like the problem that caca9510ff4e5d842c0589110243d60927836222 was trying to fix, but that patch is present in the kernels being reported. any ideas ?
