e1000e suspend-to-disk reboots box with 3.11-rc3+

e1000e suspend-to-disk reboots box with 3.11-rc3+

[Borislav Petkov]

Hi,

I'm experiencing the strange observation that when I hibernate my x230
with Linus HEAD from today + tip/master (3.11-rc3+), the box doesn't
remain off but reboots immediately.

Since I have a similar bug where an e1000e box reboots
when "Wake on LAN from S4/S5" is enabled in the BIOS
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812592) I decided to test
with LAN cable removed.

And yes, when the ethernet cable is not connected, the box hibernates
and remains off. When I hibernate with the cable attached, the box
doesn't remain off but reboots.

The card is:

And of course, 3.10 is fine.

Any ideas?

I'll try to bisect it when I get a chance.

Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything that has been added to the driver in
Linus' tree since 3.10 that would cause this change in behavior.  There are a number of
changes that have been put into the out-of-tree driver which have not yet made it into
Linus' tree - would you be willing to try the latest out-of-tree driver from e1000.sf.net
to see if it resolves your issue?  Of course, a bisect as you mention would also help.

Have you checked for a BIOS update from your system manufacturer?
Do you have Runtime Power Management enabled for this device?

Thanks,
Bruce.
