[...] I'm getting the expected output: [ 1.156857] pci_vc_needs_save(0000:03:00.0, 2) returning false [ 1.158866] pci_vc_needs_save(0000:04:00.0, 2) returning false This is most probably triggered by pci_allocate_vc_save_buffers, true? Therefore, I never should need pci_save_vc_state and pci_restore_vc_state. Thus, it should be ok to add "return" at the beginning of each of these function, true? Then it should work. I tested it. It worked. But if I'm removing only one of these returns either in pci_save_vc_state or pci_restore_vc_state, the machine hangs again. Therefore, there must be something odd going on in the for loops. Isn't it possible to add some useful debug code to these loops to see what's really going on? But the output *must* go to the actual console, otherwise I can't see it! int pci_save_vc_state(struct pci_dev *dev) { return 0; // must be set int i; for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(vc_caps); i++) { int pos, ret; struct pci_cap_saved_state *save_state; pos = pci_find_ext_capability(dev, vc_caps[i].id); if (!pos || !pci_vc_needs_save(dev, vc_caps[i].id)) continue; save_state = pci_find_saved_ext_cap(dev, vc_caps[i].id); if (!save_state) { dev_err(&dev->dev, "%s buffer not found in %s\n", vc_caps[i].name, __func__); return -ENOMEM; } printk("%s doing %s save on %s\n", __func__, vc_caps[i].name, pci_name(dev)); ret = pci_vc_do_save_buffer(dev, pos, save_state, true); if (ret) { dev_err(&dev->dev, "%s save unsuccessful %s\n", vc_caps[i].name, __func__); return ret; } } return 0; } void pci_restore_vc_state(struct pci_dev *dev) { return; // must be set int i; for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(vc_caps); i++) { int pos; struct pci_cap_saved_state *save_state; pos = pci_find_ext_capability(dev, vc_caps[i].id); save_state = pci_find_saved_ext_cap(dev, vc_caps[i].id); if (!save_state || !pos) continue; printk("%s doing %s restore on %s\n", __func__, vc_caps[i].name, pci_name(dev)); pci_vc_do_save_buffer(dev, pos, save_state, false); } } Thanks, Andreas
