Hi, The following three patches address the hibernation/suspend issue described in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12121 and in the very long thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/1/382. In short, the problem is that resume (from hibernation and/or suspend-to-RAM) occasionally fails (approximately 20-25% of attempts) in the middle of resuming PCI devices. We were able to find a specific layout of devices within the memory address space in which the failure appeared to be extremely unlikely, but this layout was no really valid for other reasons. We also found out that using the NMI watchdog decreased the probablitily of failure which indicated that the problem could be timing-related. Next, we started to look at the PCI resume code and we generally agreed that it would be a good idea to restore the standard PCI configuration registers with interrupts disabled. Also, we thought we could move the saving of those registers for some devices into functions executed with interrupts disabled. I have followed these observations and created the three following patches. With all of these patches applied, I'm not able to reproduce the problem.
