Suspend hangs since 2.6.34
Hi, as of kernel 2.6.34 I sometimes get a strange hang during suspend to RAM. After echo mem > /sys/power/state, the suspend script hangs, Xorg eats 100% CPU, and the desktop is frozen.

[PATCH] uniform cdrom: fix mutex unlocking in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info file
If the last if condition passes the cdrom_mutex mutex will not be unlocked. This patch fixes this and also removes the unnecessary doit label that was only invoked by the done label. Thanks.

On Wed, 9 Jun 2010, David Howells wrote: Implement the GDB remote protocol 'p' command to retrieve a single register value. Is there any value to this? Apparently it used to work just because that command never did anything (rather than return an error). Why not just reinstate that behavior instead?... 28 Jun 2010 00:51

Both appear to have been added during the merge window. There is one where it's not clear how it was exposed but the fixes are both simple. Daniel The following... 9 Jun 2010 13:05
