What this probably means is that we need some way to turn off interrupts from devices on suspend, and on resume, keep them off until drivers have had a chance to quiesce all devices, turn them back on, and then do full resume. The "quiesce" stage needs to take account of whether devices are accessible (eg, USB mice and keyboards won't be because the USB host controller isn't resumed.) (and no I don't have a patch for this - I think this requires another rework of the PM subsystem and drivers.) ;( -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
