The HP EliteBook G3 850 has a weird bug where a subsequent cold boot
hangs while plugged in if Linux enables the Host Notify features of
i2c-i801.  The cold boot hang depends on how the system boots.  It does
not hang on UEFI Grub text boot or legacy Grub text boot.  But it does

Booting unplugged is not affected.

Disabling the Host Notify feature with disable_feature=0x20 works around
the bug, so automatically do so based on DMI information.

I'm faced with similar cold boot issues on my HP ProBook 430 G4 model.
Trying your hint with adding 
"options i2c_i801 disable_features=0x20"
to /etc/modprobe.d/i2c_i801.conf doesn't seem to solve it for me.

My system boots legacy grub in text mode (KMS) and seems to keep hanging
even with that option set.

Do you have any further idea?

Maybe verify the option is set by checking
/sys/module/i2c_i801/parameters/disable_features ?  Looks like dmesg
should also report "SMBus Host Notify disabled by user" when disabled.
I run with i801 built-in, so I was specifying the option on the kernel
command line.

Your cold boot hang is in legacy grub itself?  Legacy grub text mode
actually doesn't hang my G3 850 - it was switching to the graphical
splash screen that seemed to do it.  PXE booting via F12 was another
consistent way to hang.  It was very early in the PXE boot code -
before it checked the link status.  So you could try that with it just
plugged into a switch even if you don't have a PXE boot setup.

>From my previous post:
"""
The Boot Agent hang prints "Client Mac Addr 00-11-22-33-44-55<cursor>"
and hangs.  A normal boot prints a GUID on the same line and
continues.
"""

Otherwise, unfortunately, it might just be a different issue.

> Do you have any further idea?

For the G3 850, I bisected to the commit introducing i801 Host Notify
support.  It's time consuming, but you could do the same.  I first
noticed the issue when I moved from a working stable 4.4 to stable
4.14.  I tried some fedora kernels in between which narrowed down the
bisect range.  You could similarly grab and test pre-compiled kernels
to more quickly hone in on the regression range.

Jason

Another thing to think of is that you may have to rebuild the
initrd/initramfs after editing /etc/modprobe.d/i2c_i801.conf if
i2c-i801 happens to be part of it (and make sure
that /etc/modprobe.d/i2c_i801.conf is indeed included in
initrd/initramfs then.)

I recall reports about hangs when we first added support for
interrupts. I think we addressed all the bugs in this area since then
but maybe not. So you may want to try disable_features=0x30 to disable
both interrupts and SMBus Host Notify.

I have to admit I am curious how a bot can determine that. What are the

No. If FEATURE_HOST_NOTIFY is not defined, then the patch is not needed

[PATCH v3] i2c: i801: blacklist Host Notify on HP EliteBook G3 850

[Jason Andryuk]

The HP EliteBook G3 850 has a weird bug where a subsequent cold boot
hangs while plugged in if Linux enables the Host Notify features of
i2c-i801.  The cold boot hang depends on how the system boots.  It does
not hang on UEFI Grub text boot or legacy Grub text boot.  But it does
hang on legacy Grub graphical boot and Intel Boot Agent PXE text boot.
Booting unplugged is not affected.

Disabling the Host Notify feature with disable_feature=0x20 works around
the bug, so automatically do so based on DMI information.

My boot issue happens right after the BIOS when the initrd should be
loaded and then no grub (v2.0) menu appears.

It seems I could fix it for me disabling  Host Notify + Interrupts with
options i2c_i801 disable_features=0x30 and then rebuilding initrd.
The touchpad is still working. Still testing more days if it will hang
again.

Is there anything further I can do to help? I can't tell when this hang
was introduced. When I received the HP Arch was running 4.9 lts kernel
and it already hung there.

Things like code metrics, words in the commit message, files changed,
author, who reviewed/signed-off/etc.

See https://soarsmu.github.io/papers/icse12-patch.pdf for some academic

Wolfram and stable, please hold on with this patch, Jason and I may have
found a proper fix so blacklisting would no longer be needed.

Nack. As stated somewhere else in this thread, odds are that this
blacklisting won't be needed after all.
