kernel freeze when suspending to sleep (automatically, randomly ?)

I am currently stuck with the 6.1 lts kernel because any more recent kernel just present the behavior describe in the topic title.

I have tried regularly any new kernel 6.10, 6.11, 6.12, be it mainline or zen, and after some time, say the second day, or may be after 3 automatic suspend to sleep, it freezes, with no way to wake it up.

In fact, the power led is still fully on, so this does mean, that it never went into sleep in the first place. it somehow crash or froze while going to sleep. You have to hard power down, to get back control of it.
It does not happen every time.

Edit:
And this is annoying, because it forces a fsck on reboot, with sometimes some files lost.

I saw a similar problem in a few threads, but I couldn't never fix that, by ollowing fix mentionned in them.

I have an Dell optiplex 7060, with a i5 8500, intel UHD 630, 16GB RAM, currently on 6.1.128-lts61

Re: kernel freeze when suspending to sleep (automatically, randomly ?)

Did you already try a kernel of the 6.13 series (aka the 'linux' package) or one of the 6.14 release candidates?

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com//\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-mainline-6.14rc3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This way we don't start investigating a bug in detail which may already be fixed in a newer version ..

(note that this installs the kernel as linux-mainline, so you need to configure your bootloader to boot it (for example via grub-mkconfig -o ... or by writing the systemd-boot loader entry))

Re: kernel freeze when suspending to sleep (automatically, randomly ?)

So It tried the 6.14rc3-1. That did not work better. Like always. After the second boot, after 2 or 3 automatic suspend to sleep.

May be there is a pattern, here ?

I don't expect that to be fixed any time soon. It began to appear in kernel 6.1 or something. I commented in the old thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=282837

There was a kernel bug related to that. But none of the patch or solution seemed to apply, So it does not seem to be the same bug?
I have a nuvotron TPM, so not an intel TPM.

I am looking for a work-around, so that suspend to sleep work ok all the time.
