Geert Uytterhoeven 2aa70f8649 net: smsc911x: Quieten netif during suspend
If the network interface is kept running during suspend, the net core
may call net_device_ops.ndo_start_xmit() while the Ethernet device is
still suspended, which may lead to a system crash.

E.g. on sh73a0/kzm9g and r8a73a4/ape6evm, the external Ethernet chip is
driven by a PM controlled clock.  If the Ethernet registers are accessed
while the clock is not running, the system will crash with an imprecise
external abort.

As this is a race condition with a small time window, it is not so easy
to trigger at will.  Using pm_test may increase your chances:

    # echo 0 > /sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend
    # echo platform > /sys/power/pm_test
    # echo mem > /sys/power/state

To fix this, make sure the network interface is quietened during
suspend.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
