SubjectRegression between 2.6.35 and 2.6.38 (freeze at resume)
From
Date
Hello,

Since I upgraded my Dell E4200 laptop to Fedora 15, I have had some problem
with suspend/resume: occasionaly, the computer would freeze on resume.
(I suspend by pressing fn-F1. My power manager is the kde plasmoid. I am not
completely sure which program(s) get(s) launched with what options when I
press fn-F1...)

Most of the times when it happens, it freezes before leaving anything
interesting in the logs, and, on some rare occasion, there is a series of
WARNING: and a BUG: in the log.

The computer was working fine with Fedora 14, and is working fine while
running Fedora 15 with the latest Fedora 14 kernel (2.6.35.6), so the problem
is kernel related. I have seen it with all the Fedora 15 kernels that I have
installed from the first one (2.6.38.6) to the latest one (2.6.40.4). I have
also seen it with a vanilla 3.0.4 kernel that I compiled, so it is not a
problem specific to fedora.

The bug does not occur every time. The frequency of occurence depends on the
kernel version (nearly always on 2.6.38 and 3.04, every 5 or 10 times on
2.6.38).

The full relevant logs are on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404

but in short, the first warning is

WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:47 __list_del_entry+0x8d/0x98()

and then all hell breaks loose.

The warning seems related to battery, and I just want to mention a point which
is or is not relevant: when I wake up from the working kernel (2.6.35), the
kde battery plasmoid shows the correct power level instantaneously. When I
wake up from the non working kernel (2.6.40), the battery plasmoid first
displays an empty battery for about one second before displaying the correct
power level.

Does that ring a bell to someone ? What could I do to help debug this ?

Thanks

Eric Brunet
