My machine (a Dell Inspiron 5558 laptop) fails to resume from suspend unless I rmmod r8169 first.
Another workaround is to do this before suspend: echo 0 > /sys/power/pm_async I've been reproducing the freeze like this: $ i3lock && systemctl suspend I would have to repeat this at least 5 times for the freeze to occur, but it seems to be easily reproducible. If I don't invoke i3lock, I cannot get the freeze to happen, but it seems to happen with other lockers also. I have tried Alt+SysRq+r and tried to switch to another TTY but the machine is always unresponsive, which indicates that it's a kernel panic. I have had a similar issue to this about a year ago with the jme driver and this was the fix: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/jme.c?id=ee50c130c82175eaa0820c96b6d3763928af2241 I haven't tried getting a kernel trace yet, but all seems to indicate the problem is caused by r8169, at least til now. Any ideas, please? Thanks, Diego
