[PATCH] swsusp: add s2ram ioctl to userland interface

2006-03-23T15:38:08+00:00

Add the SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl to the snapshot device.

This ioctl allows a userland application to make the system (previously frozen
with the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl) enter the S3 state without freezing processes
and disabling nonboot CPUs for the second time.

This will allow us to implement the suspend-to-disk-and-RAM (STDR)
functionality in the userland suspend tools.

[PATCH] swsusp: userland interface

2006-03-23T15:38:07+00:00

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.

[PATCH] swsusp: low level interface

2006-03-23T15:38:07+00:00

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.

[PATCH] swsusp: do not change log level during suspend/resume

2006-02-01T16:53:14+00:00

Prevent the kernel from setting the log level to 10 unconditionally during
suspend/resume which was needed in the past for debugging, but generally is
undesirable.

[PATCH] swsusp: save image header first

2006-01-06T16:33:43+00:00

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).

[PATCH] swsusp: make image size limit tunable

2006-01-06T16:33:42+00:00

Make the suspend image size limit tunable via /sys/power/image_size.

It is necessary for systems on which there is a limited amount of swap
available for suspend.  It can also be useful for optimizing performance of
swsusp on systems with 1 GB of RAM or more.
