Description davidgf 2016-01-30 01:22:27 UTC
Description of problem:

On a Dell XPS 13 laptop (9350) using the newest kernel 4.5-rc1 (named 4.5.0-0.rc1.git0.2) the laptop will come back immediately from suspend (close the lid, suspends and it comes back after 1 second).

This also creates some issues with bluetooth (can't connect anymore for some misterious reason, not relevant).

It works well using 4.5-rc0

Notes: I'm using Fedora 23 but rawhide kernel, cause my laptop is too new and unsupported on older kernels (at least without tweaks).

I have more infornation!

Last kernel known to work well is: kernel-4.5.0-0.rc0.git1.2.fc24.x86_64
Next kernel that doesn't suspend the computer: kernel-4.5.0-0.rc0.git5.1.fc24.x86_64

I couldn't try any other releases in between since they failed according to koji (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8)

I have a dmesg trace, in this trace I send the computer to sleep after second 26 (more or less). Attached.

Ok I'm closing this.
After trying to bisect the kernel with little luck (I got inconsistent results with the same commit) and some other hardware madness going on I think it might be connected to the Dell firmware.

After upgrading to BIOS 1.2.3 seems that the problem has gone away. It suspends well with 4.5.0-rc4-git8 or so and it does it way faster than before (regardless of the kernel version) so I guess the Dell guys have fixed some of the bugs there.

Thanks!!!
