* [PATCH] swsusp: take lowmem reserves into accountRafael J. Wysocki2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | swsusp allocates memory from the normal zone, so it cannot use lowmem reserve pages from the lower zones. Therefore it should not count these pages as available to it.

* [PATCH] swsusp: rework memory shrinkerRafael J. Wysocki2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rework the swsusp's memory shrinker in the following way: - Simplify balance_pgdat() by removing all of the swsusp-related code from it. - Make shrink_all_memory() use shrink_slab() and a new function shrink_all_zones() which calls shrink_active_list() and shrink_inactive_list() directly for each zone in a way that's optimized for suspend. In shrink_all_memory() we try to free exactly as many pages as the caller asks for, preferably in one shot, starting from easier targets.  If slab caches are huge, they are most likely to have enough pages to reclaim.  The inactive lists are next (the zones with more inactive pages go first) etc. Each time shrink_all_memory() attempts to shrink the active and inactive lists for each zone in 5 passes.  In the first pass, only the inactive lists are taken into consideration.  In the next two passes the active lists are also shrunk, but mapped pages are not reclaimed.  In the last two passes the active and inactive lists are shrunk and mapped pages are reclaimed as well. The aim of this is to alter the reclaim logic to choose the best pages to keep on resume and improve the responsiveness of the resumed system. 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: save image header firstRafael J. Wysocki2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the swsusp_info structure become the header of the image in the literal sense (ie. it is saved to the swap and read before any other image data with the help of the swsusp's swap map structure, so generally it is treated in the same way as the rest of the image). The main thing it does is to make swsusp_header contain the offset of the swap map used to track the image data pages rather than the offset of swsusp_info.  Simultaneously, swsusp_info becomes the first image page written to the swap. The other changes are generally consequences of the above with a few exceptions (there's some consolidation in the image reading part as a few functions turn into trivial wrappers around something else).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [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.

* [PATCH] core remove PageReservedNick Piggin2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove PageReserved() calls from core code by tightening VM_RESERVED handling in mm/ to cover PageReserved functionality. PageReserved special casing is removed from get_page and put_page. All setting and clearing of PageReserved is retained, and it is now flagged in the page_alloc checks to help ensure we don't introduce any refcount based freeing of Reserved pages. MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE of VM_RESERVED regions is tentatively being deprecated. We never completely handled it correctly anyway, and is be reintroduced in future if required (Hugh has a proof of concept). Once PageReserved() calls are removed from kernel/power/swsusp.c, and all arch/ and driver code, the Set and Clear calls, and the PG_reserved bit can be trivially removed. Last real user of PageReserved is swsusp, which uses PageReserved to determine whether a struct page points to valid memory or not. This still needs to be addressed (a generic page_is_ram() should work). A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap (and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is an issue.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resumeRafael J. Wysocki2005-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption of page translation tables during resume on x86-64. This is achieved by creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume. The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM. If that happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads to the solid hang of the affected system. This leads to the loss of the system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue. Also, it appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time). The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET) points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater than the physical address of the PMD entry itself. Moreover, unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend (i.e. the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume (i.e. the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed). Thus while the image is restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not point to the right physical address any more (i.e. there's no page table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address the page table has been at during suspend). Consequently, if the PMD entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal way and the system hangs. In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from swsusp_arch_resume() (ie. from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_ NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in swsusp_arch_resume()). Additionally, we are in atomic context at that time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL. Moreover, if one of the allocations fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace them somehow. All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c rather than in init.c. It may be done in a more elegan way in the future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now. [AK: move some externs into headers, renamed a function] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] encrypt suspend data for easy wipingAndreas Steinmetz2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch protects from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend. During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply means that all data written to disk during suspend are then inaccessible so they can't be stolen lateron. Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these data to swap to be able to resume lateron. Without suspend encryption your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk. This means that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all applications having direct access to the swap device which was used for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.

| | | | | | | | | | Aha, swsusp dips into swap_info[], better update it to swap_lock. It's bitflipping flags with 0xFF, so get_swap_page will allocate from only the one chosen device: let's change that to flip SWP_WRITEOK.

* [PATCH] swsusp: fix error handlingPavel Machek2005-07-07

* [PATCH] swsusp: fix nr_copy_pagesPavel Machek2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch moves the recalculation of nr_copy_pages so that the right number is used in the calculation of the size of memory and swap needed. It prevents swsusp from attempting to suspend if there is not enough memory and/or swap (which is unlikely anyway). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This function is no longer necessary, as currently there are only 0-order allocations in swsusp, and the use of it is confusing. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
