@Matalak - took a look at your redhat bugzilla link and the behaviour
that todd describes is an exact match! Curiously enough, todd seems to
be using a standard PC setup rather than a laptop.

At the end of the redhat bugzilla post Laura Abbott suggests that todd
files a bug report with the upstream maintainers at bugzilla.kernel.org
and when I searched for suspend bugs I found:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199025  (last entry was 10th
May)

A few thoughts:

- kernel bug 199025 'Suspend hangs. Never fully suspends and impossible
to return to running state.' has been filed against this issue. The
'Status: NEEDINFO' and the last comment on it being from the 10th of May
is not particularly encouraging :(

- I'm not entirely sure how all of this works (this is the first bug
report that I've filed) but my initial thoughts were to get anyone with
suspend issues to add to the bug report and list their hardware, so that
there might be a clearer picture of how many people this was affecting
and what machines seem to be affected.

- I assumed that nobody would pay any attention to this seemingly 'edge-
case hardware combination issue' until it was ascertained that it
affected a good many more people.

- I'm pleased to see that I was incorrect in my assumption and that as
far as I can tell from an email (think I got added to a list for
starting the bug) a canonical team member, Kai-Heng Feng, has been in
touch with a kernel.org developer about the kernel bisection report, who
has made a patch to test.

So I think what happens is that users report bugs to their specific
distro (i.e Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian) and the distro
developers/maintainers can then narrow it down and report the problem to
the maintainers of the affected part of the project.

In this case, what seems to be a kernel-related problem is reported to
the kernel maintainers by the Ubuntu developers.

Since it only seems to be affecting a few specific hardware
combinations, it means any fixes will have to be tried out by someone
with the 'problem hardware', who can then report back whether the issue
is fixed.

(I don't mind testing things out but don't really know what I'm doing,
so if there is a patch to try I wouldn't know how to apply it.)

I'm very tempted to let the bugzilla.kernel.org folks know that bug
#199025 is affecting us too, but the Ubuntu maintainers might be in
touch with them already.
