Re: (4.3.0) r8152: deadlock related to runtime suspend?

[Lu Baolu]

Hi Peter,

Have you ever tried disabling auto-pm? Did things go smoothly if auto-pm is disabled?

I always disable usb auto-pm in below way.

# echo on | tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control
# echo on > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<bus_name>/power/control

Thanks,
Baolu
