* [PATCH] swsusp: do not use memcpy for snapshotting memoryRafael J. Wysocki2006-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | swsusp should not use memcpy for snapshotting memory, because on some architectures memcpy may increase preempt_count (i386 does this when CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW is set). Then, as a result, wrong value of preempt_count is stored in the image. Replace memcpy in copy_data_pages with an open-coded loop. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: use less memory during resumeRafael J. Wysocki2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make swsusp allocate only as much memory as needed to store the image data and metadata during resume. Without this patch swsusp additionally allocates many page frames that will conflict with the "original" locations of the image data and are considered as "unsafe", treating them as "eaten" pages (ie. allocated but unusable). The patch makes swsusp allocate as many pages as it'll need to store the data read from the image in one shot, creating a list of allocated "safe" pages, and use the observation that all pages allocated by it are marked with the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set.  Namely, when it's about to load an image page, swsusp can check whether the page frame corresponding to the "original" location of this page has been allocated (ie. if the page frame has the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set) and if so, it can load the page directly into this page frame.  Otherwise it uses an allocated "safe" page from the list to store the data that will be copied to their "original" location later on. This allows us to save many page copyings and page allocations during resume and in the future it may allow us to load images greater than 50% of the normal zone. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: prevent possible image corruption on resumeRafael J. Wysocki2006-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function free_pagedir() used by swsusp for freeing its internal data structures clears the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags for each page being freed. However, during resume PG_nosave_free set means that the page in question is "unsafe" (ie. it will be overwritten in the process of restoring the saved system state from the image), so it should not be used for the image data. Therefore free_pagedir() should not clear PG_nosave_free if it's called during resume (otherwise "unsafe" pages freed by it may be used for storing the image data and the data may get corrupted later on).

* [PATCH] swsusp: userland interfaceRafael J. Wysocki2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp. The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.  Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which sectors of the resume partition are available to them. The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp. The interface documentation is included in the patch. The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will be 10 (ie. misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been requested. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: low level interfaceRafael J. Wysocki2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce the low level interface that can be used for handling the snapshot of the system memory by the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code of swsusp and the userland interface code (to be introduced shortly). Also change the way in which swsusp records the allocated swap pages and, consequently, simplifies the in-kernel swap-writing/reading code (this is necessary for the userland interface too). To this end, it introduces two helper functions in mm/swapfile.c, so that the swsusp code does not refer directly to the swap internals. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: fix enough_free_memRafael J. Wysocki2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a problem with the function enough_free_mem() used by swsusp to verify if there is a sufficient number of memory pages available to it to create and save the suspend image. Namely, enough_free_mem() uses nr_free_pages() to obtain the number of free memory pages, which is incorrect, because this function returns the total number of free pages, including free highmem pages, and the highmem pages cannot be used by swsusp for storing the image data. The patch makes enough_free_mem() avoid counting the free highmem pages as available to swsusp. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: improve freeing of memoryRafael J. Wysocki2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes swsusp free only as much memory as needed to complete the suspend and not as much as possible.  In the most of cases this should speed up the suspend and make the system much more responsive after resume, especially if a GUI (eg. X Windows) is used. If needed, the old behavior (ie to free as much memory as possible during suspend) can be restored by unsetting FAST_FREE in power.h Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] swsusp: introduce the swap map structureRafael J. Wysocki2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the swap map structure that can be used by swsusp for keeping tracks of data pages written to the swap.  The structure itself is described in a comment within the patch. The overall idea is to reduce the amount of metadata written to the swap and to write and read the image pages sequentially, in a file-alike way. This makes the swap-handling part of swsusp fairly independent of its snapshot-handling part and will hopefully allow us to completely separate these two parts in the future. This patch is needed to remove the suspend image size limit imposed by the limited size of the swsusp_info structure, which is essential for x86-64 systems with more than 512 MB of RAM.
