Subject: r8169 not workin on resume due allocation failure
Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 03:44:07 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20100908T054044-695@post.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi all,
I'm using the r8169 module on my notebook and after a couple of days
of running with suspend/resume the networking stops working. I have
the dmesg output at the end of the email. From my understanding this
is due that on suspend the interface will be brought down, the rx buffers
are freed and that on resume it is not possible to allocate a continous
buffer for the sizes required.
My approach to handle this would be to add an option to not free the
buffers until the module is unloaded and guard this with an option. Is
that an acceptable solution?
