[PATCH] swsusp: Do not fail if resume device is not set

2007-01-06T07:55:22Z

In the kernels later than 2.6.19 there is a regression that makes swsusp fail if the resume device is not explicitly specified. It can be fixed by adding an additional parameter to mm/swapfile.c:swap_type_of() allowing us to pass the (struct block_device *) corresponding to the first available swap back to the caller.

[PATCH] struct seq_operations and struct file_operations constification

2006-12-07T16:39:46Z

- move some file_operations structs into the .rodata section - move static strings from policy_types[] array into the .rodata section - fix generic seq_operations usages, so that those structs may be defined as "const" as well [akpm@osdl.org: couple of fixes] Signed-off-by: Helge Deller Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] swsusp: Fix labels

2006-12-07T16:39:28Z

Move all labels in the swsusp code to the second column, so that they won't fool diff -p. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Acked-by: Pavel Machek Cc: Nigel Cunningham Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] convert pm_sem to a mutex

2006-12-07T16:39:28Z

The power management semaphore is only used as mutex, so convert it. [akpm@osdl.org: fix rotten bug] Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: Pavel Machek Cc: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add include/linux/freezer.h and move definitions from sched.h

2006-12-07T16:39:27Z

Move process freezing functions from include/linux/sched.h to freezer.h, so that modifications to the freezer or the kernel configuration don't require recompiling just about everything.

[PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmem

2006-12-07T16:39:27Z

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. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[PATCH] swsusp: add ioctl for swap files support

2006-12-07T16:39:27Z

To be able to use swap files as suspend storage from the userland suspend tools we need an additional ioctl() that will allow us to provide the kernel with both the swap header's offset and the identification of the resume partition. The new ioctl() should be regarded as a replacement for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl() that from now on will be considered as obsolete, but has to stay for backwards compatibility of the interface.

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

2006-12-07T16:39:27Z

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(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[PATCH] swsusp: use partition device and offset to identify swap areas

2006-12-07T16:39:27Z

The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap areas: (1) swap files need not be contiguous, (2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition that holds it. From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem, because it is already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has to be taken into consideration. In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the help of appropriate filesystem driver. Unfortunately, however, it requires the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is journaled, it cannot be mounted during a resume from disk. For this reason we need some other means by which swap areas can be identified. For example, to identify a swap area we can use the partition that holds the area and the offset from the beginning of this partition at which the swap header is located. The following patch allows swsusp to identify swap areas this way. It changes swap_type_of() so that it takes an additional argument representing an offset of the swap header within the partition represented by its first argument. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

[PATCH] uswsusp: add pmops->{prepare,enter,finish} support (aka "platform mode")

2006-12-07T16:39:26Z

Add an ioctl to the userspace swsusp code that enables the usage of the pmops->prepare, pmops->enter and pmops->finish methods (the in-kernel suspend knows these as "platform method"). These are needed on many machines to (among others) speed up resuming by letting the BIOS skip some steps or let my hp nx5000 recognise the correct ac_adapter state after resume again. It also ensures on many machines, that changed hardware (unplugged AC adapters) gets correctly detected and that kacpid does not run wild after resume. Signed-off-by: Stefan Seyfried Cc: "Rafael J.
