The commit which was pointed to in the bisection does nothing else than free some data in firewire-core. (Note to myself and Jay: See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/23/123 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/23/153 for the history of this bug.) Fabio, please test a _bad_ kernel with firewire drivers unloaded before hibernation. Also, please enable in the "Kernel hacking" kernel config menu: "Kernel debugging", "Debug slab memory allocations". Thanks, -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- =-== ==--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
