Right, only the kernel is running then.

It should.  But an earlier version of this patch was also in Debian's
2.6.36 so it would have had the same problem.

The last 2.6.36 I've tried was 2.6.36-1~experimental.1, I've then
passsed and returned to 2.6.32 for unrelated problems. I think it wasn't
affected, but I can re-check it and/or test later 2.6.36 versions if it
may help.

Sorry if my information was misleading.

The patch below against 2.6.37-git + davem's pending fixes (see
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=129448910825754) should help.

Can you give it a try ?

r8169: keep firmware in memory.

The firmware agent is not available during resume.

It will help with http://bugs.debian.org/609538 but it will not avoid
the 60 seconds delay when there is no firmware.

This patch applied against current git tree fixes problem (with firmware
installed). However, cherry-picking
eee3a96c6368f47df8df5bd4ed1843600652b337 (r8169: delay phy init until
device opens.) from net-2.6.git and applying "r8169: keep firmware in
memory." still results with

(I don't fully understand why)

"r8169: delay phy init until device opens." alone also doesn't do the trick.

Please check that it works if you add the patch below and I'll
merge both for a proper submission.

r8169: I am a clown.

Modifying rtl8169_reset_task() to tolerate firmware changes between
close() and open() but this is not high-priority.

It was partially fixed in commit
f1e02ed109df5f99abf942b8ccc99960cb09dd38 in linux-2.6.git (r8169: keep
firmware in memory.). Sorry for not reporting it here, I clicked "reply"
instead of "group reply" late in the night.

If this commit could be included in Debian kernel, the bug could be
closed.

If you're using Debian, the necessary blob is in the firmware-realtek
package.

It's a known problem with calls to request_firmware() when userland is
not running (early initialisation or resume from sleep).  It may be
fixable.

Re: Bug#609538: r8169: long delay during resume

[Daniel J Blueman]

When resuming from suspended with 2.6.38-rc1 with my RTL8168d/8111d
hardware, I see significant delays [1].

The only firmware I see in /lib/firmware is RTL8192E, thus it looks
like this is due to it being not present.

I see that Francois' patch is present in 2.6.38-rc1; is there a way to
avoid this delay, or is this likely in request_firmware?

Thanks,
  Daniel
