PM/Hibernate: Move memory shrinking to snapshot.c (rev. 2)

2009-06-12T19:32:32+00:00

A future patch is going to modify the memory shrinking code so that
it will make memory allocations to free memory instead of using an
artificial memory shrinking mechanism for that.  For this purpose it
is convenient to move swsusp_shrink_memory() from
kernel/power/swsusp.c to kernel/power/snapshot.c, because the new
memory-shrinking code is going to use things that are local to
kernel/power/snapshot.c .

 kernel/power/power.h]

mm: introduce for_each_populated_zone() macro

2009-04-01T15:59:11+00:00

Impact: cleanup

In almost cases, for_each_zone() is used with populated_zone().  It's
because almost function doesn't need memoryless node information.
Therefore, for_each_populated_zone() can help to make code simplify.

This patch has no functional change.

Hibernate: Replace unnecessary evaluation of pfn_to_page()

2008-12-19T09:40:35+00:00

Replace one evaluation of pfn_to_page() in copy_data_pages() with
the value of a local variable containing the right number already.

Hibernate: Take overlapping zones into account (rev. 2)

2008-12-19T09:40:35+00:00

It has been requested to make hibernation work with memory
hotplugging enabled and for this purpose the hibernation code has to
be reworked to take the possible overlapping of zones into account.
Thus, rework the hibernation memory bitmaps code to prevent
duplication of PFNs from occuring and add checks to make sure that
one page frame will not be marked as saveable many times.

Additionally, use list.h lists instead of open-coded lists to
implement the memory bitmaps.

Hibernate: Do not oops on resume if image data are incorrect

2008-12-19T09:40:35+00:00

During resume from hibernation using the userland interface image
data are being passed from the used space process to the kernel.
These data need not be valid, but currently the kernel sometimes
oopses if it gets invalid image data, which is wrong.  Make the
kernel return error codes to the user space in such cases.

pm: hibernation: simplify memory bitmap

2008-07-24T17:47:23+00:00

This patch simplifies the memory bitmap manipulations.

- remove the member size in struct bm_block

It is not necessary for struct bm_block to have the number of bit chunks that
can be calculated by using end_pfn and start_pfn.

- use find_next_bit() for memory_bm_next_pfn

No need to invent the bitmap library only for the memory bitmap.

Hibernation: Fix mark_nosave_pages()

2008-03-12T03:15:55+00:00

There is a problem in the hibernation code that triggers on some NUMA
systems on which pfn_valid() returns 'true' for some PFNs that don't
belong to any zone.  Namely, there is a BUG_ON() in
memory_bm_find_bit() that triggers for PFNs not belonging to any
zone and passing the pfn_valid() test.  On the affected systems it
triggers when we mark PFNs reported by the platform as not saveable,
because the PFNs in question belong to a region mapped directly using
iorepam() (i.e. the ACPI data area) and they pass the pfn_valid()
test.

Modify memory_bm_find_bit() so that it returns an error if given PFN
doesn't belong to any zone instead of crashing the kernel and ignore
the result returned by it in mark_nosave_pages(), while marking the
"nosave" memory regions.

This doesn't affect the hibernation functionality, as we won't touch
the PFNs in question anyway.

Hibernation: Handle DEBUG_PAGEALLOC on x86

2008-02-21T07:15:28+00:00

Make hibernation work with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC set on x86, by
checking if the pages to be copied are marked as present in the
kernel mapping and temporarily marking them as present if that's not
the case.  No functional modifications are introduced if
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is unset.

Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions

2008-02-05T17:44:17+00:00

- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.

- Eliminate useless functions

- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
  all pages not only those of the local processor.

- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
  disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
  pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
  disable interrupts.

- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
  declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c

- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
  of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
  software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
  then we can make drain_pages() static.

Hibernation: Update messages

2008-02-01T23:30:55+00:00

Make hibernation messages start with one common prefix "PM: " and use
the word "hibernation" in the messages as a synonym of "suspend to
disk".

Turn some KERN_INFO messages into debug ones.
