Hibernation: do not try to mark invalid PFNs as nosave

2007-08-11T22:47:40+00:00

On some systems some PFNs reported by the early initialization code as
'nosave' may be invalid.  If we try to set the corresponding bits in the
hibernation bitmap, BUG_ON() in memory_bm_find_bit() will be triggered and
the system won't be able to boot (cf.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296242).

Prevent this from happening by verifying if the 'nosave' PFNs are valid in
mark_nosave_pages().

[POWERPC] swsusp: Introduce register_nosave_region_late

2007-05-09T06:34:56+00:00

This patch introduces a new register_nosave_region_late function that
can be called from initcalls when register_nosave_region can no longer
be used because it uses bootmem.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

swsusp: use GFP_KERNEL for creating basic data structures

2007-05-07T19:12:59+00:00

Make swsusp call create_basic_memory_bitmaps() before processes are frozen, so
that GFP_KERNEL allocations can be made in it.  Additionally, ensure that the
swsusp's userland interface won't be used while either pm_suspend_disk() or
software_resume() is being executed.

swsusp: do not use page flags

2007-05-07T19:12:59+00:00

Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and
free pages.  This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for
other purposes.  Also, the memory needed to store the bitmaps is allocated
when necessary (ie.  before the suspend) and freed after the resume which is
more reasonable.

The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some
nice simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it.  I am going to
implement them separately in the future.

swsusp: use inline functions for changing page flags

2007-05-07T19:12:58+00:00

Replace direct invocations of SetPageNosave(), SetPageNosaveFree() etc.  with
calls to inline functions that can be changed in subsequent patches without
modifying the code calling them.

[PATCH] x86: Move swsusp __pa() dependent code to arch portion

2007-05-02T17:27:07+00:00

o __pa() should be used only on kernel linearly mapped virtual addresses
  and not on kernel text and data addresses.

o Hibernation code needs to determine the physical address associated
  with kernel symbol to mark a section boundary which contains pages which
  don't have to be saved and restored during hibernate/resume operation.

o Move this piece of code in arch dependent section. So that architectures
  which don't have kernel text/data mapped into kernel linearly mapped
  region can come up with their own ways of determining physical addresses
  associated with a kernel text.

[PATCH] Use ZVC for free_pages

2007-02-11T18:51:17+00:00

This is again simplifies some of the VM counter calculations through the use
of the ZVC consolidated counters.
