The impact of this regression is the same for resume that I saw on
thaw: the kernel hangs and nothing except SysRq rebooting can be done.

The null deref occurs at the same position as on thaw.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference
RIP: aq_ring_rx_fill+0xcf/0x210 [atlantic]

Fixes regression in cbe6c3a8f8f4 ("net: atlantic: invert deep par in
pm functions, preventing null derefs"), where I disabled deep pm
resets in suspend and resume, trying to make sense of the
atl_resume_common deep parameter in the first place.

It turns out, that atlantic always has to deep reset on pm operations
and the parameter is useless. Even though I expected that and tested
resume, I screwed up by kexec-rebooting into an unpatched kernel, thus
missing the breakage.

This fixup obsoletes the deep parameter of atl_resume_common, but I
leave the cleanup for the maintainers to post to mainline.

PS: I'm very sorry for this regression.

Hi Manuel,

Unfortunately I've missed to review and comment on previous patch - it was too quickly accepted.

I'm still in doubt on your fixes, even after rereading the original problem.
Is it possible for you to test this with all the possible combinations?
suspend/resume with device up/down,
hibernate/restore with device up/down?

I'll try to do the same on our side, but we don't have much resources for that now unfortunately..


> Fixes: cbe6c3a8f8f4315b96e46e1a1c70393c06d95a4c

That tag format is incorrect I think..

Igor

With the proposed patch (deep parameter is always true), I've managed to test:
1. Hibernate/restore (with device down/up)
2. Suspend/resume (with device down/up)

I put the device down with the command:
sudo ip link set <connection> down

I hope that's correct, if not please let me know correct command.

Regards,
Jordan

I confirm that suspend/resume/hibernation/thaw keeps working in all
cases. Thaw would work without the original patch, if the device is down
before hibernation. I also originally described this behaviour on
bugzilla at

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215798

See also Jordan’s confirmation below.

I think, the main reason, why this could break, is, that the deep
parameter had no real impact until the breaking commit. So it was
practically untested, when the allocation/free functions were split.

Another thing, that I tested, was guarding all null pointer references
with null checks, which failed at first, because GCC optimized them
out. I think I have the atlantic tree for this (bad) fix attempt
floating around. I can try to rebase and create a patch from this and
post it to the Github issue, if you are interested.
https://github.com/Aquantia/AQtion/issues/32

Don’t have time for this before the weekend though.

Thanks for pointing that out. Also, are those stable Cc tags correct?
Because I figured, that the x in the documentation could be also the
branch name and not a placeholder. Should I resend the patch, fixing the
tags? Won’t get to it before tomorrow, though.

This should be the correct.

As mentioned in the discusson thread this reliably restores resume
for me, so:
