I am trying the new Fedora 34 on my laptop, almost works as expected but this :

The suspend and hibernate are working (well, I still have to check why after hibernating system is not correctly resumed from my swap partition) so the issue seems to be with this timerfd.
system-sleep is a binary program, I’m unable to see what action on timerfd is called, anyone have a clue ?
I was using this laptop with Fedora 33 and everything was fine, hibernating, suspending and of course suspend-then-hibernate. After updating to Fedora 34 I had this issue with the timerfd.
I tried to install from scratch (formatted my previous root and home fs), the issue is still here.
Again, suspending and hibernating works, it is only the suspend-and-hibernate which fails due to the “timerfd: Operation not permitted” error.
For me, the system-sleep is trying to set a timer for the HibernateDelaySec value found in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf and for an unknown reason it fails.
