Sorry, it's not convenient for me to test Ubuntu at the moment. I abuse the above instructions to assert that this bug is confirmed, citing the URLs provided. (1: The patch+description linked for kernel 4.17, 2: the lack of fix evidenced in the link for kernel 4.15.0-24.26).
I appeal to authority based on me being the author of the fix, which was merged to the Linux kernel :). Furthermore, I do so on behalf of two Ubuntu users active on Ubuntu bug linked above.[1] In the first instance, I analysed the crash dump and explained the very distinct signature which it shows, indicating this bug. The second user confirmed that they suffered this bug and used a very specific workaround to avoid it. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1760450/ (The Ubuntu bug is marked as affecting 7 people overall. I am certain this is an understatement. I mentioned in my comment in the bug, how the nature of the crashes made them hard for users to identify. One part is the same as the experience we had in Fedora. Automatically reported crashes were not reliably detected as duplicates, because the fatal SIGBUS signal can happen at a number of different points). ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776887 Title: Critical upstream bugfix missing in Ubuntu 18.04 - frequent Xorg crash after suspend Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This upstream bug has been confirmed to affect Ubuntu users[1]. As per the fix commit (below), the most frequent symptom is a crash of Xorg/Xwayland, i.e. killing the entire GUI, when a laptop is woken from system sleep. Frequency of the bug is described as once every few days[2]. [1] E.g. this user confirms the bug & very specific workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1760450/comments/11 [2] E.g. this log of crashes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553979#c23 This is a bug in blk-core.c. It is not specific to any one hardware driver. Technically the suspend bug is triggered by the SCSI core - which is used by *all SATA devices*. The commit also includes a test which quickly and reliably proves the existence of a horrifying bug. I guess you might avoid this bug only if you have root on NVMe. The other way to not hit the Xorg crash is if you don't use all your RAM, so there's no pressure that leads to cold pages of Xorg being swapped. Also, you won't reproduce the Xorg crash if you suspend+resume immediately. (This frustrated my tests at one point, it only triggered after left the system suspended over lunch :). Fix: "block: do not use interruptible wait anywhere" in kernel 4.17: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1dc3039bc87ae7d19a990c3ee71cfd8a9068f428 in kernel 4.16.8: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux- stable.git/commit/?h=linux-4.16.y&id=7859056bc73dea2c3714b00c83b253d4c22bf7b6 lack of fix in 4.15.0-24.26 (ubuntu 18.04): https://git.launchpad.net /~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/bionic/tree/block/blk- core.c?id=Ubuntu-4.15.0-24.26#n856 I.e., this bug is still present in Ubuntu source package linux-4.15.0-24.26 (and 4.15.0-23.25). I attach hardware details (lspci-vnvn.log) of a system where this bug is known to happen.
