Hibernation: Fix mark_nosave_pages()

2008-03-12T03:15:55Z

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. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9966 . Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

freezer vs stopped or traced

2008-03-04T15:59:54Z

This changes the "freezer" code used by suspend/hibernate in its treatment of tasks in TASK_STOPPED (job control stop) and TASK_TRACED (ptrace) states. As I understand it, the intent of the "freezer" is to hold all tasks from doing anything significant. For this purpose, TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED are "frozen enough". It's possible the tasks might resume from ptrace calls (if the tracer were unfrozen) or from signals (including ones that could come via timer interrupts, etc). But this doesn't matter as long as they quickly block again while "freezing" is in effect. Some minor adjustments to the signal.c code make sure that try_to_freeze() very shortly follows all wakeups from both kinds of stop. This lets the freezer code safely leave stopped tasks unmolested. Changing this fixes the longstanding bug of seeing after resuming from suspend/hibernate your shell report "[1] Stopped" and the like for all your jobs stopped by ^Z et al, as if you had freshly fg'd and ^Z'd them. It also removes from the freezer the arcane special case treatment for ptrace'd tasks, which relied on intimate knowledge of ptrace internals.

PM: Introduce PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE callback state

2008-02-23T18:40:04Z

During the last step of hibernation in the "platform" mode (with the help of ACPI) we use the suspend code, including the devices' ->suspend() methods, to prepare the system for entering the ACPI S4 system sleep state. But at least for some devices the operations performed by the ->suspend() callback in that case must be different from its operations during regular suspend. For this reason, introduce the new PM event type PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE and pass it to the device drivers' ->suspend() methods during the last phase of hibernation, so that they can distinguish this case and handle it as appropriate. Modify the drivers that handle PM_EVENT_SUSPEND in a special way and need to handle PM_EVENT_HIBERNATE in the same way. These changes are necessary to fix a hibernation regression related to the i915 driver (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/22/488). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Hibernation: Handle DEBUG_PAGEALLOC on x86

2008-02-21T07:15:28Z

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. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Len Brown

Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions

2008-02-05T17:44:17Z

- 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.
