Hi,

Thanks for your response,

Since Loongson-3A maintain cache coherency by hardware, with or without cache flush will both OK. But for Loongson-2F, I guess cache flush is also needed, but I have no Yeelong-2F to test now.

I'm afraid reintroducing the cache flush is not enough to bring the
kernel back to a working state, hibernation wise.  The last oops message
I saw, after the ones that flew by, had __arch_local_irq_restore at the
top of the backtrace, called by some function with resume in its name.

Any other suggestions?


Here's the patch I tried on top of yours, as an alternative to reverting
it, unfortunately without success:
