Hi,

here is the latest version of the fix.

http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/l2-mtd-2.6.git/commit/283d43b9ce2952535aa89c0195085e2a1b7e5fce

Also attached.

Subject: [PATCH] mtd: fix MTD suspend

Commits 3fe4bae88460869a8e553397cd9057a4ee7ca341 and
079c985e7a6f4ce60f931cebfdd5ee3c3 broke MTD suspend in 2 ways:

1. When the '->suspend' method is not present, we return -EOPNOTSUPP,
but
   the callers of 'mtd_suspend()' expects 0 instead.
2. Checking of the 'mtd' parameter against NULL has been incorrectly
removed
   in 'mtd_cls_suspend()'.

This patch fixes the breakages. This has been found, analyzed, reported
and tested by Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>.

Note, this patch is not needed in the stable tree because it causes a
regression introduced during the v3.3 merge window.

Thanks, but is anyone actually going to push it to Linus any time soon?

If not, then I can do that through the linux-pm tree.  I'll be sending
at least one more pull request with fixes for v3.3.

Thanks,
Rafael

I agree, but I am not the maintainer so cannot answer. David Woodhouse
is aware of this, but I do not know when he gonna send the pull request.

Well, the problem is being reported by more and more people, so I'd
like to push the fix quickly.

David, please let me know if you don't want me to include the $subject patch
into the next PM fixes pull request.  If I don't hear from you, I'll push it
next week for -rc4.

Thanks,
Rafael

I too have it in my tree as a patch which Artem sent me, as it's rather
fundamental to not oopsing the kernel when you suspend/resume on any ARM
platform.

It actually affects everyone using MTD and suspend (not only ARM) and that's
why I thought I'd take it, but I'm fine with any other resolution as long as
the patch goes to Linus before 3.3-final.

Thanks,
Rafael
