Rafael J. Wysocki 6e1819d615 [PATCH] swsusp: userland interface
This patch introduces a user space interface for swsusp.

The interface is based on a special character device, called the snapshot
device, that allows user space processes to perform suspend and resume-related
operations with the help of some ioctls and the read()/write() functions.
 Additionally it allows these processes to allocate free swap pages from a
selected swap partition, called the resume partition, so that they know which
sectors of the resume partition are available to them.

The interface uses the same low-level system memory snapshot-handling
functions that are used by the built-it swap-writing/reading code of swsusp.

The interface documentation is included in the patch.

The patch assumes that the major and minor numbers of the snapshot device will
be 10 (ie.  misc device) and 231, the registration of which has already been
requested.

Pavel Machek 543cc27d09 [PATCH] swsusp: documentation updates
Update suspend-to-RAM documentation with new machines, and makes message
when processes can't be stopped little clearer.  (In one case, waiting
longer actually did help).

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>

  Warn in the documentation that data may be lost if there are some
  filesystems mounted from USB devices before suspend.

  [Thanks to Alan Stern for providing the answer to the question in the
  Q:-A: part.]

Rafael J. Wysocki ca0aec0f7a [PATCH] swsusp: make image size limit tunable
Make the suspend image size limit tunable via /sys/power/image_size.

It is necessary for systems on which there is a limited amount of swap
available for suspend.  It can also be useful for optimizing performance of
swsusp on systems with 1 GB of RAM or more.

Linus Torvalds 2031d0f586 Merge Christoph's freeze cleanup patch 2005-06-25 17:16:53 -07:00
Christoph Lameter 3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

David Brownell 0b405a0f7e [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

 - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
 - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
 - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
 - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
 - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
