Suspend with Asus P8P67-M PRO motherboard fails (upstream patch included)

[Aleksi Hankalahti]

The computer appears to go down normally but then it tries immediately start again and crashes. Keeps fans on and doesn't react anything.

I tested this patch from the upstream kernel and it fixes the issue:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=8931d9ea78848b073bf299594f148b83abde4a5e

[Aleksi Hankalahti (aleksi-hankalahti)]

Sorry, the affected system is Ubuntu Precise.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 968016

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Aleksi Hankalahti (aleksi-hankalahti)]

I don't think this needs those logs etc. But please ask if you really want them.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem maintainer's tree, etc?

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

[Aleksi Hankalahti (aleksi-hankalahti)]

The patch is in the Linus' vanilla kernel 3.3.

[Aleksi Hankalahti (aleksi-hankalahti)]

Suspend still fails with the kernel 3.2.0-20.33.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Upstream question to see if the patch will make it into linux-stable:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/1/243

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I'll build a precise(12.04) test kernel with the upstream patch, and post a link to it shortly.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

I posted a 12.04 test kernel at the following location:
http://people.canonical.com/~jsalisbury/lp968016/

This test kernel has the patch mentioned in the bug description. Can folks affected by this bug test the test kernel and report back if it fixes this bug?

[Aleksi Hankalahti (aleksi-hankalahti)]

Like I mentioned in bug #969576 Salisbury's test kernel does not work. When suspending the machine does not even try to shutdown (so the behaviour is completely different than is described in this bug report).

It appears that patches [1] and/or [2] produces a completely new problem.

Currently I am running kernel compiled from source [3] where I removed patches [1] and [2], and applied patch [4]. With this kernel no bug #969576 appears and the machine suspends (and resumes) without any problems.

AceLan Kao's patch [1] fixes the bug #969576 . So I can get working kernel (no asus_wmi -error, working suspend) from [2] by applying patches [1] and [3].

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Hi Aleksi,

Do you still require upstream patch [3] in addition to the patches already applied to Precise in bug 969576 ?

[Herton R. Krzesinski (herton)]

Joseph, from comment #13 I understand that we still require 8931d9ea78848b073bf299594f148b83abde4a5e in Precise.

It seems also that this acpi fix should have gone to stable (http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=131675442503494&w=2). I asked on stable mailing list for the patch to be applied. Once I get feedback, I'll see it to get applied at least on Precise.

[Aleksi Hankalahti (aleksi-hankalahti)]

Yes, the 8931d9ea78848b073bf299594f148b83abde4a5e is needed (everything else is already in the Precise's kernel).

Thank you Herton and Joseph!

[Julian Wiedmann (jwiedmann)]

Aleksi,
the required commit has landed in precise-updates (with 3.2.0-24.38) - please update to the latest kernel and see if this issue is fixed.

[idokibovito (idokibovito)]

I seem to have the same issue on almost the same motherboard. Mine is the -EVO Version instead of the Pro.
The issue still exists in current official ubuntu builds.

Way to resolve bugs! Just let them expire :)
