mm/pm: force GFP_NOIO during suspend/hibernation and resume

2010-03-06T19:26:26Z

There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the underlying devices being suspended. Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.

PM / Hibernate: Fix preallocating of memory

2010-02-26T19:39:13Z

The hibernate memory preallocation code allocates memory to push some user space data out of physical RAM, so that the hibernation image is not too large. It allocates more memory than necessary for creating the image, so it has to release some pages to make room for allocations made while suspending devices and disabling nonboot CPUs, or the system will hang due to the lack of free pages to allocate from. Unfortunately, the function used for freeing these pages, free_unnecessary_pages(), contains a bug that prevents it from doing the job on all systems without highmem. Fix this problem, which is a regression from the 2.6.30 kernel, by using the right condition for the termination of the loop in free_unnecessary_pages(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

PM / Hibernate: Remove swsusp.c finally

2010-02-26T19:39:13Z

Its contents and entry in Makefile were already removed in 8e60c6a1348e17e68ad73589a52a03876e7059be (Shift remaining code from swsusp.c to hibernate.c) but somehow it remained in-place (rjw: which most likely was my mistake).

PM / Hibernate: Remove trailing space in message

Remove a trailing space from a message in swsusp_save(). Signed-off-by: Frans Pop Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Swap, remove useless check from swsusp_read()

2010-02-26T19:39:11Z

It will never reach here if the sws_resume_bdev is erratic. swsusp_read() is called only from software_resume(), but after swsusp_check() which would catch the error state. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Really deprecate deprecated user ioctls

2010-02-26T19:39:11Z

They were deprecated and removed from exported headers more than 2 years ago. Inform users about their removal in the future now. (Switch cases needed to be reorderded for an easy fall through.) And add an entry to feature-removal-schedule. Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby Acked-by: Pavel Machek Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM: Add facility for advanced testing of async suspend/resume

2010-02-26T19:39:10Z

Add configuration switch CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG for compiling in extra PM debugging/testing code allowing one to access some PM-related attributes of devices from the user space via sysfs. If CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG is set, add sysfs attribute power/async for every device allowing the user space to access the device's power.async_suspend flag and modify it, if desired.

PM: Add a switch for disabling/enabling asynchronous suspend/resume

2010-02-26T19:39:10Z

Add sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_async allowing the user space to disable/enable asynchronous suspend/resume of devices. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PCI PM: Run-time callbacks for PCI bus type

2010-02-23T00:21:19Z

Introduce run-time PM callbacks for the PCI bus type. Make the new callbacks work in analogy with the existing system sleep PM callbacks, so that the drivers already converted to struct dev_pm_ops can use their suspend and resume routines for run-time PM without modifications.

vt: introduce and use vt_kmsg_redirect() function

2009-12-15T16:53:28Z

The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to redirect the kernel messages to a specific console. However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic message on the current console. This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect variable by a function to be able to use it in code where CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c). This patch: Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where messages are printed. Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c) to the new interface. The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.
