But being servers, suspend/resume is not well supported.

When I initially > read the bug report, ericspero seemed to do a pretty good job of bisecting > the change. You could try with the revert of 6aa0365a3c85. What I think you are seeing is the X client start (Wayland ?) being delayed by the fact that with 6aa0365a3c85, resume waits for the HDD to be revalidated. Hence the delay for X & mouse to start working. > It seems that we still don't agree that libata is responsible for the newly > introduced lack of mouse pointer interactivity following resume. Therefore, See above. It could be. But permanently reverting 6aa0365a3c85 is not a solution as that commit fixes a real problem that some users reported and that you could also hit yourself by reverting it. As I said, if you confirm that this commit is indeed the cause of the delay, I can try to see how to reduce the delay, if possible. The main issue is that the resume code is a bit of a mess between libata and scsi, and libata resume is mostly done using EH (error handler) context, which when running prevents using the drive for anything. A rework of the resume path may be needed but that is extremely dangerous as that could introduce lots of regressions (because libata is in a sense the accumulation of decades of "magic" code to deal with buggy adapters and drives, and there are a lot out these out there). So extreme caution is needed when touching such code. > I will spend some more time characterizing the problem. I have a relatively > new Chuwi laptop with a spare m.2/sata slot.

Also, in case you are interested, the previously described > m.2/sata to 7pin sata adapter is available on eBay at: I am the libata maintainer, and if you check my email address, you will see that it is not hard for me to get SATA HDDs and SSDs. I have 3 racks of machine in my lab with literally hundreds of HDDs and SSDs usable, and also some PCs with CD/DVD, old parallel ATA drives, port multiplier enclosures, etc. Many favors of hardware. But that does not mean that I can reproduce all issues notified by users. I could never reproduce the issue that commit 6aa0365a3c85 fixes so my tests only confirmed that I was not seeing any regression (and I did not see a bad delay with anything as I do not run any GUI on my machines). Rather than hardware, which I have plenty, I would be happier with people spending time testing for-next and RC trees to verify that patches do not have unintended side effects. libata is not the sexiest of subsystems and it is hard to get people to review and test patches. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
