Hi, has any uswsusp[1] (aka suspend-utils) or plymouth[2] developer tested the two together? It seems there is a hang during resume from s2disk, and the resume can be continued by pressing ALT-SysRq-K or ALT-SysRq-E. This is not hardware specific neither new. For example, there is a bug report for Debian[3] opened in 2010 (don't get confused by the reference to the blinking fb cursor bug). Personally, I have tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and Arch Linux (stable and some rc kernel versions for some months now). Easily reproduced also in a virtual machine, without graphical splash. The hang does not occur if using the in-kernel hibernation, nor when not starting plymouth before resume. ALT-SysRq-T shows this backtrace for the 'plymouthd' and 'resume' processes: [ 51.853427] plymouthd D 0000000000000000 0 55 1 0x00000004 [ 51.853427] ffff88000da6fd18 0000000000000086 ffff88000da58000 ffff88000da6ffd8 [ 51.853427] ffff88000da6ffd8 ffff88000da6ffd8 ffff88000da59000 ffff88000da58000 [ 51.853427] 0000000000000000 ffff88000da58490 ffff88000da6fc78 ffff88000d9bd500 [ 51.853427] Call Trace: [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8107d879>] ? finish_task_switch+0x49/0xd0 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8145daa1>] ? __schedule+0x431/0x900 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8145e0af>] schedule+0x3f/0x60 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8109b9b3>] __refrigerator+0x43/0xe0 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff810bdb72>] ? cgroup_freezing+0x32/0x40 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8106499d>] get_signal_to_deliver+0x56d/0x600 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8118687c>] ? destroy_inode+0x3c/0x70 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff81014278>] do_signal+0x68/0x750 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff811b04f1>] ? ep_poll+0x2a1/0x360 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff811b09ed>] ? sys_epoll_ctl+0xad/0x850 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8116dfeb>] ? fput+0x16b/0x210 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff810149e5>] do_notify_resume+0x65/0x80 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff81460122>] int_signal+0x12/0x17 [ 51.853427] resume S ffff88000da593c8 0 57 1 0x00000000 [ 51.853427] ffff88000da5fd48 0000000000000082 ffff88000da59000 ffff88000da5ffd8 [ 51.853427] ffff88000da5ffd8 ffff88000da5ffd8 ffffffff8180d020 ffff88000da59000 [ 51.853427] ffff88000da59000 ffff88000da5ffd8 ffff88000da5ffd8 ffff88000da5ffd8 [ 51.853427] Call Trace: [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8108014c>] ? ttwu_do_wakeup+0x2c/0x120 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8145eed8>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x38/0x50 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8145e0af>] schedule+0x3f/0x60 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff812e20f7>] vt_event_wait+0xa7/0x130 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff81072570>] ? abort_exclusive_wait+0xb0/0xb0 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff812e225d>] vt_waitactive+0x2d/0x60 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8145cc26>] ? mutex_lock+0x16/0x30 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff812e4886>] vt_move_to_console+0x56/0xc0 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff81094388>] pm_prepare_console+0x18/0x40 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff81095974>] hibernation_restore+0x14/0x130 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8109afe8>] snapshot_ioctl+0x218/0x4a0 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8117e787>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x97/0x530 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8118ae14>] ? mntput+0x24/0x40 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8116dfeb>] ? fput+0x16b/0x210 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8117ecb9>] sys_ioctl+0x99/0xa0 [ 51.853427] [<ffffffff8145fe69>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Does plymouthd register to listen for console change, or something else that it can't do while refrigerated? There was on May 18th a patch proposed for the vt_event_wait() function[4], but that patch has no effect for this particular hang. Apparently Mandriva has a patch[5] to add plymouth support to uswsusp, but one would assume that s2disk/resume should not hang in its default state. Any ideas?
