Hi,
Since a while ago I've had trouble resuming when b43 was connected to an
AP while suspended.
I did a test today where this was the only difference, but I failed to
see whether ssb or b43 were causing the problem.
Does anyone have a machine with b43 in it that can suspend and supports
the RTC-trace feature so we can narrow it down? Even reproducing might
help to make sure it's not just something weird with my powerbook.

Just a note: this might seem like a different on first sight, but since
hibernation will actually call resume before powerdown it might be the
same.

Well, I saw that during hibernation, so it probably happened after creating the
image, when devices were being resumed for image saving.
Thanks,

I can reproduce this too on my HP6715s
(b43-phy2: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found
b43-phy2 debug: Found PHY: Analog 4, Type 2, Revision 9
b43-phy2 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2)
it hangs while hibernating with tuxonice.

It hangs for me either at read_unlock_irqrestore() in b43_op_tx() or somewhere
in ieee80211_tx() (at various places).

It works fine when i unload the b43 before.

I can confirm that. It looks like a deadlock with mac80211 or something
similar to my untrained eye.

Please use "no_console_suspend", as I said in the other message.

Well, yeah, netconsole _might_ work as sungem gets resumed before b43,
but I tried doing that on the regular console and didn't see anything
useful.

I see. System reset hard and clock set to 1904, PMU didn't like me :)
Thing is, I do have no_console_suspend (hardcoded in my boot loader
config so I forgot), but even with PM-debug I didn't see it hang at b43
and no useful messages. Not sure what to do, hence asking if anybody has
the rtc-trace stuff.

No big deal. :-)
It's always been breaking for me like this ...

No, it's not. It just doesn't work, AFAICS.
My box is only able to suspend (without hanging) if NetworkManager is switched
off or b43 is unloaded before an attempt to.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to fight with that.

Hmm. It seems I might have been wrong here. Rafael, do we still have
console suspend stuff?

Yes, we do. Use "no_console_suspend" in the kernel command line to change
that, but note that it's not generally safe (eg. if you are using netconsole at
the same time).

Yeah, like I said earlier to somebody. Still doesn't make much sense
here. I'll play with it next week, or you could try to put into
suspend() a call to ieee80211_stop_queues() and in resume
ieee80211_wake_queues(), maybe that fixes it? I probably won't have time
over the weekend to look more into it, sorry.

Huh. Why is it even getting into the tx path? And even then, why does it
hang at an unlock?

With NM disabled 2.6.25-wl 4311 after a suspend/resume I can:
1. Successfully scan for APs (ifconfig wlan0 up... iwlist wlan0 scan)
2. Associate with an AP (iwconfig ...essid...key...)
3. Get a DHCP address (dhclient... offer... bound to address such and such)
but
4. NO FURTHER IP COMMUNICATIONS WORKS
Let me know what other diags to run or if I should upgrade to the latest
wl tree if you think that will change the symptoms.
Things have been busy but there is a weekend coming up here shortly.

pepper it with printk's and add netconsole ...

Odd. Resume itself works just fine here, except when b43 is up. But then
again, you might not notice that this is the problem because by default,
nothing gets printed on the resume console and then it will indeed hang
with a black screen.

How can I change the printing?

Resume is pretty broken since some time for me.
It sometimes works fine and sometimes just hangs with a black screen.
I have no idea what's going on.
