Random resume (after suspend) issue on ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen3 (Radeon 680M, Ryzen 7)

Hi, since 2 or 3 weeks, may be more, I don’t remember, my laptop, a Thinpad T14s AMD gen3, powered by Fedora 39 Gnome Wayland, randomly, the suspension cannot be restored, I have to do a hard reboot/reset.

This is the last line in journald:

I researched on ask fedora, no success.

I also searched on RedHat Bugzilla, I only found this slightly related to my problem “Radeon on Wayland - Black screen/crash on suspend/resume” but contrary to the description in this bug report, my problem only happens randomly. I’m not able to reproduce it with any certainty.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Do you have an idea of a direction in which I could explore to correct this problem?

Best regards,
Stéphane

No issue for 5 days.

I don’t know if the bug is fixed or not :thinking:.

The problem happened to me again 8 times in 6 days!

Here on Reddit, one person tells me:

Is your swap size larger than or equal to your ram? 9 times out of 10, all resume issues I’ve ever had were due to swap not being big enough to house everything in memory at the time of suspend, and it presented as intermittent failure on resume due to me only periodically using more memory than I had swap available. openSUSE has an option in autoYAST to deal with this issue on installation, I’ve always wondered why Fedora never did. In any case, something to check out that may not be usually thought about.

I investigated and here are a few facts:

The ram on my laptop: 30845MiB

$ sudo parted -l

I’ll try to dig in that direction.

This is not a swap ‘partition’ but is instead a portion of RAM that is reserved and used as virtual swap. Fedora has used zram for swap for many years and has not created a physical swap partition by default for the same period.

Suspend does not power off the system but only allows the hardware to be powered down except for RAM which remains powered on.

I think most cases of problems with resume from suspend have actually been the result of losing the GPU config and its ram content. It seems many systems power off the GPU as part of suspend so loss of its config and memory content combined with failing to restore the graphics config when resuming is a major factor in failure to resume properly from suspend.

7

I think I have this bug: 2262577 – kernel-6.7.3 broke suspend (QCNFA765 ath11k while bluetooth is enabled)

8

See also Asus Zephyrus G14 GA402 - Suspend not working reliably since Kernel 6.6.8 (#3132) · Issues · drm / amd · GitLab

I have a P14s Gen4 (so pretty much the same setup) and I am not seeing this problem. My machine maybe failed once to resume from suspend.
I am much more affected by the WiFi issue you mentioned.

10

After investigation, I think I’m the victim of two bugs:

  • the first is the one described here:

Since kernel 6.6.8, I’ve been having suspend issues. Sometimes, a suspend request would result in the screen blanking, but the power LED remains lit. Other times, suspend would occur, but randomly, the system wakes itself (power LED is solid white), and eventually the fans turn on to full speed and the system gets very warm. A long press of the power button shuts it down, and it reboots normally.
After a bit of experimenting, the bad suspend only occurs on lid close. Suspend works normally if a suspend is requested by pressing the power button. This behaviour has been confirmed by other Asus G14GA402 users, as well one Asus TUF Gaming A16 Advantage Edition FA617NS user.
There was no issue with suspend on kernel 6.6.7 and lower. The issue has persisted through 6.6.8/9/11/13 and 6.7.2.

The kernel 6.6.8 was released in “stable” on 2023-12-25, I think that’s when I started having problems that I considered random.

Summary of QCNFA765 ath11k problems kernel-6.7.4

The current 6.7.x suspend crashes are intertwined with the long standing packet loss and latency problems we’ve been seeing with QCNFA765 Linux ath11k.

Kernel 6.4.12-6.6.14 all had the same problem where you need the iw dev wlp1s0 set power_save off workaround to prevent crippling packet losses and slow speeds. With the power_save workaround applied this wifi adapter was mostly tolerable.

Kernel-6.7.3 broke suspend.

Kernel-6.7.4 included a partial fix.

I think I have this issue since 2024-02-06 when this kernel-6.7.3-200.fc39 package was published in stable.

11

I can confirm that the issue described also happens with my laptop (Thinkpad T14s with 32GB, Ryzen 7) after upgrading to Fedora 39.

Using kernel 6.7.4 with wireless and Bluetooth enable.
Does not seem to be related to RAM since i had this issue with many GB of free RAM.

Before upgrading from Fedora 38 was working properly.

Even with wireless and bluetooth disabled i still get suspend issues.

13

There are two issues mentioned in this thread, and some diagnostic workarounds (disabling wifi, using suspend from keyboard rather than closing lid). Too often there are delays in updates for vendor firmware after a new kernel version appears, so I find it important to have USB dongles for wifi and bluetooth for times when the internal versions are failing.

14

Yesterday updated to kernel 6.7.5 and i have not seen this issue occur again. Maybe its fixed

15

Unfortunately it is not fixed yet. While for some hardware configurations the new kernel seems to fix the issue, there’s others where it still doesn’t work.

16

Yes, spoke too soon, but it seems it happen less frequent.

We need more information. You may be alble to find journalctl entries associated with the issue(s). Look for strings associated with suspend and resume so you can skip to the time period when “interesting” stuff happens, then look for differences between succesful and failed instances.

18

Here, I read:

Thanks Justin, that works. TIL
I rebooted into 6.7.5-201 and it seems consistent:

  • I ran amd_s2idle.py --count 4 and it didn’t break;
  • I closed the lid three times and it didn’t break;
  • I suspended from the Gnome menu two times and it didn’t break;

It looks good so far.

So, I think I need to wait 6.7.5-201 to be present in stable before execute upgrade.

19

On February 15, I downgraded from kernel 6.7.4 to kernel 6.6.7, this fixed my problem :slightly_smiling_face: (see detail).

15 days later, on March 1, I applied all the Fedora 39 updates and I’ve noticed since 24 hours that my initial problem seems to be fixed :slightly_smiling_face:.
