mainlining shenanigans
This will reset deeply on freeze and thaw instead of suspend and resume and prevent null pointer dereferences of the uninitialized ring 0 buffer while thawing. The impact is an indefinitely hanging kernel. You can't switch consoles after this and the only possible user interaction is SysRq. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference RIP: 0010:aq_ring_rx_fill+0xcf/0x210 [atlantic] aq_vec_init+0x85/0xe0 [atlantic] aq_nic_init+0xf7/0x1d0 [atlantic] atl_resume_common+0x4f/0x100 [atlantic] pci_pm_thaw+0x42/0xa0 resolves in aq_ring.o to ``` 0000000000000ae0 <aq_ring_rx_fill>: { /* ... */ baf: 48 8b 43 08 mov 0x8(%rbx),%rax buff->flags = 0U; /* buff is NULL */ ``` The bug has been present since the introduction of the new pm code in |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
