This issue is still evident with kernel 2.6.28-9.

I'm revisiting it although it very much appears this could be due to a
confluence of unique circumstances on particular hardware.

The only reports I can identify seem to be with various Sony Vaio
laptops/notebooks of differing ages and hardware.

One was found to be a "...pcmcia express card reader disconnecting
itself after suspend and thus triggering the wakeup".

I've used up all the user-space options for disabling wakeup events
through /sys/devices/*/wakeup without solving it.

What is interesting is it affects Windows XP too. It doesn't seem to
affect all models since it doesn't affect an identical Vaio.

I re-discovered an email I sent in 2007 in response to David Brownell on
the linux-acpi mailing list:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=118539846819353&w=2

"I'm not sure if this might inform your thinking here but today I've just
tracked down a similar issue on another Sony Vaio (PCG-SRX51) where S3
STR immediately wakes.

I enabled ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE and called acpi_get_event_status()
immediately upon resume (before the wake flag is cleared) and iterated
each wake event.

I discovered that the PM timer event is the reason the system resumes
but so far haven't discovered why. I have a tenuous theory it could be
related to the kernel timer using the ACPI PM Timer. I tried disabling
that with the boot parameter 'nopmtimer' but that didn't help.

To test this I'm currently building a kernel that disables the PM Timer
wake event during suspend and re-enables it on resume, something the
ACPI specification hints at in section 4.7.2.1.

I'm not sure if this problem occurs on a wider range of systems than the
Sony since at present, without a debug kernel with ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE and
specific additional checks, there is no way to know the reason a system
resumed."
