[Bug 471872] Re: [Dell Computer Corporation Inspiron 600m] suspend/resume failure

[spinlock]

Hi everyone,

How can we get some traction getting this bug fixed? The issue has been
identified as the KMS functionality in the Radeon driver. This feature
is marked as experimental and comes with a warning not to turn it on
unless you know what you're doing because it can break your system. I
just don't think this feature should be turned on until it has been
properly debugged so that it actually works.

It's just pretty discouraging that this bug has been around for 4
releases and there isn't even anyone working on it yet. We've identified
the exact feature in the exact module that is causing this bug and I'm a
competent kernel developer could patch this bug in a week, but I just
don't think anyone at Canonical cares about this one. :(

Two years on a bug that hangs your system hard on commonly used
functionality should be rated higher than "medium."
