On some platforms with a large number of CPUs, we will allocate many IRQ vectors. When hibernating, the system will attempt to migrate all of the vectors back to CPU0 when shutting down all the other CPUs. It is possible that we have so many vectors that it cannot re-assign them to CPU0. This is even more likely if we have many devices installed in one platform. The end result is failure to hibernate, as it is not possible to shutdown the CPUs. We can avoid this by disabling MSI-X and clearing our interrupt scheme when the device is suspended. A more ideal solution would be some method for the stack to properly handle this for all drivers, rather than on a case-by-case basis for each driver to fix itself. However, until this more ideal solution exists, we can do our part and shutdown our IRQs during suspend, which should allow systems with a large number of CPUs to safely suspend or hibernate. It may be worth investigating if we should shut down even further when we suspend as it may make the path cleaner, but this was the minimum fix for the hibernation issue mentioned here. Testing-hints: This affects systems with a large number of CPUs, and with multiple devices enabled. Without this change, those platforms are unable to hibernate at all.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
