I go on a rant about suspend

See here.

I go on an amazing rant about suspend issues. Here’s my full quote:

“For example, the ‘freeze’ action for USB (which is one of the hardest things to suspend) should literally be something like just setting the controller STOP bit, and waiting for it to have stopped. The ‘unfreeze’ should be to just clear the stop bit, while the ‘restart’ should be just a controller reset to use the current memory image. NONE OF THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING TO DO WITH SUSPEND. It never did. I’ve told people so for years. Maybe actually seeing the problems will make people realize.”
