Fan speeds stuck at max speed when resuming from sleep #33

Description

Specs

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 9560
Distro: Arch Linux
Kernel: linux-xanmod-edge (5.13.10-1)
DE: KDE Plasma 5.22.4 (with SDDM)

Additions

dell-bios-fan-control is installed and bios fan control is turned off.

Issue

Whenever I resume the laptop from sleep, the fans kick on and about 1/5 times they stop spinning immediately after it (since temperatures aren't high, so no need to enable the fans). Otherwise the fans stay at full speed.

Note

This issue also happens on the official Arch kernel and on earlier releases of the 5.13 and 5.12 kernel as far as I can remember.
The status of i8kmon.service is active (running) after resuming from sleep, no error messages.

Workarounds

  • Restart i8kmon: $ sudo systemctl restart i8kmon
  • Type in i8kmon in a terminal (fan speed is immediately updated) and terminate with ctrl + c (or close the terminal)
