Hi. I am running testing on a fairly normal i3-based PC. Since yesterday, it is using the 4.17.0-1-amd64 kernel instead of 4.16.0-2-amd64, and I am experiencing the following two issues:
The device for the audio controller takes about 0.3 seconds to open. I have just rebooted on 4.16, and with it the delay is imperceptible. (And yes, 0.3 seconds for that is a problem for me.) The audio device is listed as "ALC892 Analog". More severe: from time to time, process doing disk access go into D state but the disk stays idle; the kernel reports nothing at all (in particular: no reset of the ATA bus). They can stay like that for a few seconds, a few dozens seconds, and I had a firefox freeze for several minutes until I got fed up and pressed the power button; the shutdown was clean. I had no such problem with 4.16.0-2-amd64, and I will be careful to see if they happen now that I have rebooted with the oldest kernel. Does anyone experience the same problems? (To test the audio delay issue, you can use the following commands: ffmpeg -lavfi sine=d=0.5 sine.wav aplay sine.wav The beep sound should be instantaneous, except possibly on the first run if aplay and libraries are not yet loaded from disk.)
