 Posted: Sat Feb 17, 2018 8:41 pm Post subject: Busy Kernel Work Queue Prevents Suspend to RAM |
 |
|
When I run pm-suspend or s2ram -f, sometimes suspending works perfectly, and sometimes
the screen shuts off, but nothing is suspended and I need to reboot to get access to the
system, clearing dmesg from the previous boot, so I don't have access to those logs.
Other times, s2ram fails with the message "s2ram_do: Device or resource busy" (and
the equivalent pm-suspend, if run, fails, returning "128" as an error code), and both
processes exit (without borking my display, thankfully). When that happens, the linux kernel
displays this error message (retrieved from dmesg):

If it helps, I'm working with a ThinkPad T560, the TPM is disabled in BIOS (though disabling it
didn't change anything), and here's the output of $(uname -rp):
4.9.76-gentoo-r1 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz
Also, here's my kernel config: lukasyoder.com/kernelconfig
Been trying to get suspending to work reliably for a few days now and finally decided to turn to the forums
for help. If any of you can help fix this, I will be forever grateful 
[Moderator edit: added [code] tags to preserve output layout. -Hu]
Edit: Suspending to RAM always works and resumes properly the first time it is done after boot,
but all subsequent tries are a roll of the dice.
Update: Here were some unsuccessful attempts I made at fixing the problem:
I made the kernel preemptive (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y) and enabled the work queue power efficient mode (CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT=y), however those haven't fixed the problem. |
