PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails

2012-02-04T21:23:05Z

If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like: error = freeze_kernel_threads(); if (error) { /* Do some cleanup */ /* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/ thaw_processes(); } An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing the userspace tasks. So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes() accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.) [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the 3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive memory allocation failures.] Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

PM / Hibernate: Thaw kernel threads in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl path

2012-02-01T21:16:36Z

In the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl, if the call to hibernation_snapshot() fails, the frozen tasks are not thawed. And in the case of success, if we happen to exit due to a successful freezer test, all tasks (including those of userspace) are thawed, whereas actually we should have thawed only the kernel threads at that point. Fix both these issues. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueues

2012-01-29T19:35:52Z

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests. However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE, which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw that worqueues had been already frozen. Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4 attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason, to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it. Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the problem.

PM / Hibernate: Correct additional pages number calculation

2012-01-19T22:23:10Z

The struct bm_block is allocated by chain_alloc(), so it'd better counting it in LINKED_PAGE_DATA_SIZE. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

PM / Hibernate: Drop the check of swap space size for compressed image

2012-01-13T23:41:37Z

For compressed image, the space required is not known until we finish compressing and writing all pages. This patch drops the check, and if swap space is not enough finally, system can still restore to normal after writing swap fails for compressed images.

PM/Hibernate: do not count debug pages as savable

2012-01-11T00:30:42Z

When debugging with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and debug_guardpage_minorder > 0, we have lot of free pages that are not marked so. Snapshot code account them as savable, what cause hibernate memory preallocation failure. It is pretty hard to make hibernate allocation succeed with debug_guardpage_minorder=1. This change at least make it possible when system has relatively big amount of RAM. Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka Acked-by: Rafael J.

This allows uswsusp built for i386 to run on an x86_64 kernel (tested with Debian package version 1.0+20110509-2). References: http://bugs.debian.org/502816 Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

fs: move code out of buffer.c

2012-01-04T03:54:07Z

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.
