Bug Description

Resuming after a suspend results in much degraded system performance and strange use of processor resources (according to top, htop, system monitor, and similar).

Suspend works fine. After resume, behavior is sluggish and jumpy. Looking at top (and similar programs) shows that an apparently random process is using an entire core. When I kill that process, another apparently random process takes its place, and occupies 100% use of a whole core, even when that process apparently shouldn't be doing anything at all, and doesn't ever use that much processor time during normal operation. No matter how many processes I kill, there is always one sucking up a whole core. Processes that have exhibited this behavior include gnome-panel, chromium-browser, nautilus, gnome-terminal, bash, Xorg, and others. Again, this consumption of excessive processor time and whole-system performance degradation happens only after a resume.

This is a bug that started in kernel version 2.6.32-26, and continues in 2.6.32-27, 2.6.32-28, 2.6.32-29, and 2.6.32-30. It does NOT occur in 2.6.32-25, and so I consider it a regression.

This is easily reproducible on my Core 2 Quad notebook running up-to-date Lucid.

I don't know what's causing this. Please let me know what information I can collect for you.

I'll get started on bisecting the changes between -25 and -26, and add a comment here when I have a test kernel.

Just to double check - you're sure it's OK in -25?

Because there are a lot of scheduler changes that were in -25, and also because there aren't that many changes between -25 and -26, and they are all graphics driver changes.

I just want to make sure.

OK, my last comment was wrong. Because the history contains a rebase from a security release,, -26 does contain the scheduler changes. I'll get bisecting.

The first bisected kernel is version:

and may be found here:

Please test this kernel and report whether it exhibits the problem or not.

Thanks!

Here's the bisect log to this point:

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your response. In answer to your first question, yes, I'm sure 2.6.32-25 is ok: I've been suspending and resuming for months on it with no problem.

I'd like to test the bisected kernel, but unfortunately it seems to be a x86 kernel, and I'm running an amd64 system. Can you provide a 64-bit equivalent?
