Hibernation: Check if ACPI is enabled during restore in the right place

2007-10-18T21:37:20+00:00

The following scenario leads to total confusion of the platform firmware on
some boxes (eg. HPC nx6325):
* Hibernate with ACPI enabled
* Resume passing "acpi=off" to the boot kernel

To prevent this from happening it's necessary to check if ACPI is enabled (and
enable it if that's not the case) _right_ _after_ control has been transfered
from the boot kernel to the image kernel, before device_power_up() is called
(ie.  with interrupts disabled).   Enabling ACPI after calling
device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient.

For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be
executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel.   To make it
work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c
(it's name is changed to "create_image", which is more up to the point).

swsusp: free more memory

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

Move the definition of PAGES_FOR_IO to kernel/power/power.h and introduce
SPARE_PAGES representing the number of pages that should be freed by the
swsusp's memory shrinker in addition to PAGES_FOR_IO so that device drivers
can allocate some memory (up to 1 MB total) in their .suspend() routines
without causing the suspend to fail.

swsusp: use rbtree for tracking allocated swap

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

Make swsusp use extents instead of a bitmap to trace swap pages allocated
for saving the image (the tracking is only needed in case there's an error,
so that the allocated swap pages can be released).

This should allow us to reduce the memory usage, practically always, and
improve performance.

[PATCH] swsusp: fix memory shrinker

2007-04-05T04:12:47+00:00

Fix a bug in the swsusp's memory shrinker that causes some systems using
highmem to refuse to suspend to disk if image_size is set above 1/2 of
available RAM.

Special thanks to Jiri Slaby for reporting the problem and assistance in
debugging it.

[PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmem

2006-12-07T16:39:27+00:00

Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the
normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg.  it requires two normal pages
to be used for saving one highmem page).  This may be improved by using
highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages.

Namely, during the suspend phase of the suspend-resume cycle we try to
allocate as many free highmem pages as there are saveable highmem pages.
If there are not enough highmem image pages to store the contents of all of
the saveable highmem pages, some of them will be stored in the "normal"
memory.  Next, we allocate as many free "normal" pages as needed to store
the (remaining) image data.  We use a memory bitmap to mark the allocated
free pages (ie.  highmem as well as "normal" image pages).

Now, we use another memory bitmap to mark all of the saveable pages
(highmem as well as "normal") and the contents of the saveable pages are
copied into the image pages.  Then, the second bitmap is used to save the
pfns corresponding to the saveable pages and the first one is used to save
their data.

During the resume phase the pfns of the pages that were saveable during the
suspend are loaded from the image and used to mark the "unsafe" page
frames.  Next, we try to allocate as many free highmem page frames as to
load all of the image data that had been in the highmem before the suspend
and we allocate so many free "normal" page frames that the total number of
allocated free pages (highmem and "normal") is equal to the size of the
image.  While doing this we have to make sure that there will be some extra
free "normal" and "safe" page frames for two lists of PBEs constructed
later.

Now, the image data are loaded, if possible, into their "original" page
frames.  The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page
frames are loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel
virtual addresses, as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing
their copies, are stored in one of two lists of PBEs.

One list of PBEs is for the copies of "normal" suspend pages (ie.  "normal"
pages that were saveable during the suspend) and it is used in the same way
as previously (ie.  by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).  The
other list of PBEs is for the copies of highmem suspend pages.  The pages
in this list are restored (in a reversible way) right before the
arch-dependent code is called.

[PATCH] swsusp: use block device offsets to identify swap locations

2006-12-07T16:39:27+00:00

Make swsusp use block device offsets instead of swap offsets to identify swap
locations and make it use the same code paths for writing as well as for
reading data.

This allows us to use the same code for handling swap files and swap
partitions and to simplify the code, eg.  by dropping rw_swap_page_sync().
