Hi,

Hi,

uswsusp works great on my machine except for one thing. I use a TAP device for QEMU and after resuming from suspend, it doesn't work anymore until I delete it and recreate it. This is rather annoying because if I have QEMU open, it means I have to close it before recreating the interface and then boot Windows up again. I use OpenVPN to create/delete the interface but I think that's all it does. The rest is done by the kernel. So I'm guessing something's up with the TUN/TAP driver or uswsusp itself. I'm using version 0.8. Sorry if this has already been fixed.

This is a kernel problem, adding kernel-related CCs.

Thanks,
Rafael

Oh, hmm. I noticed this about a year ago after a kernel upgrade, and threw the below into /etc/acpi/resume.d/91-openvpn.sh to fix the issue on resume. It was supposed to be temporary until I could track down whether this was a kernel issue or whatnot, but then I sorta, uhm, forgot to report it. But yeah, I see the same issue -- after resume, the TUN device has disappeared, and openvpn needs to be told to close and reopen for it to work again.

#!/bin/sh

# poke openvpn to rebuild the tunnel
if pidof openvpn > /dev/null; then
	killall -SIGHUP openvpn
fi

I bet it's flow control related. I've fixed a bug in flow control handling for persistent devices recently.
btw Does it still happen with >= 2.6.26 ?

I'll play with some test code on my laptop and see if I can reproduce this issue.

Sorry about the crazy delay here, I didn't need to use QEMU for ages and I don't like firing up Windows unless I have too. :D I'm not sure about 2.6.26 but this appears to be fixed in 2.6.27.

Thanks,
James
