Hi,
Using tramp to edit remote files creates some ssh processes.
When this process dies for some reasons (such ad IP change or network
outrage), the associated buffer is still alive and makes tramp hanging
when trying to reconnect the remote host.
This behavior happens every time I carry my laptop (in suspend to disk
or suspend to ram mode) from my home to my office (or the way back).
Here is a patch (for tramp-sh.el) to add a sentinel that kills the
process buffer when the process exit:

Hope this doesn't break anything.
Cheers.

I wouldn't like to add such a radical buffer kill. Asynchronous
processes on remote hosts would loose their output buffer, when they
have finished. Debugging of Tramp problems would be harder.
On GNU Linux systems, it might be possible to catch D-Bus signals for
resuming the system after hibernate or suspend. Could you, please, eval
the following lines, and see whether Tramp behaves better?
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'dbus)
(dbus-register-signal
:system "org.freedesktop.UPower" "/org/freedesktop/UPower"
"org.freedesktop.UPower" "Resuming" 'tramp-cleanup-all-connections)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If this works for you (it does for me), I would add a custom option for
enabling this behaviour.
Maybe we shall even introduce a variable `system-resume-hook', which
keeps functions to be called when Emacs continues to run after a
hibernate or suspend of the machine.

Best regards, Michael.

I do totally agree with you about the debugging purposes. So why not
setting up a variable such as:
(defcustom tramp-kill-process-buffer-on-exit nil
"Kill remote shell buffer process if connection with remote host is
lost."
:group 'tramp
:type 'boolean)
Setting by default this variable to `nil' doesn't affect current tramp
behavior. Then one can chose how tramp should handle process ending by
changing `tramp-kill-process-buffer-on-exit'.
And add in `tramp-maybe-open-connection':
;; Kill buffer when process died.
(when tramp-kill-process-buffer-on-exit
(set-process-sentinel
p
(lambda (proc change)
(when (eq (process-status proc) 'exit)
(kill-buffer (process-buffer proc)))

This works fine but on in one use case on power resuming. If for some
reason the connection with a remote host is lost, the dbus solution acts
more like a workaround, not like a global issue solving.

I've checked the code: we have already a sentinel, which adds some
cleanup in case a process died. But this is applied only for
asynchronous processes.
I've extended the sentinel a little bit, and I've moved the sentinel
setup to `tramp-maybe-open-connection'. It is activated for all
processes now.
Could you, please, check the patch, whether it is sufficient to your needs?

Does the patch work for you? I have submitted it to the trunk, meanwhile.
If yes, we could close the bug.
