Hi,

I'm working on adding power management support for the imx233 on
3.6-rc2.  In general I'm working on porting the pm.c file from the
Freescale 2.6.35 kernel for both "standby" and "mem" suspend/resume.
I'm making pretty good progress on porting the code, but I'm running
into an issue outside the immediate code I'm working on.

Right now I'm just testing out imx233 suspend/resume functionality by
implementing a dummy "standby" function that just returns rather than
putting the SoC into a low power state.  I believe this should have
the kernel go through suspend operations, hit my dummy function which
does nothing and then go through resume operations.  Unfortunately,
upon resume I'm getting ext3 file system errors in that nothing can be
read from the root file system on the SD card.  A trace of the
suspend/resume cycle is show below:

The first reported error is in the ext3 filesystem buffer code where
the file system buffers aren't being filled by the underlying block
device.  At least that's how I'm interpreting the portion of the ext3
file system code that is failing.  However, the mmc device is
correctly reporting finding p1 and p2 partitions on the device which
it would indicate the partition data is being read from the SD card.

I'm hoping others might have suggestions on how I should go about
tracking down why the ext3 file system can no longer read from the mmc
device upon resume.  For instance, useful places to put some tracing
code to understand what might be failing, or how to determine what
differences there might be before suspend and after resume that might
point to the failure.

Thanks,

Mike Thompson
