Size != complexity. Not necessarily.

Thanks for finally giving some technical feedback.

This is because you got 2.2 instead of the latest-devel patch. It (and some 
changes mentioned below) are got now (2.2.0.1).

I've discussed it with John Stultz, and intend to do so some more.

If I could use your existing code, I would. Unfortunately I'm using a more 
compact method of storing the data (bitmaps), and I reckon I have zero chance 
of getting you to switch.

Leftovers from previously trying #if defined(CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND) || 
defined(CONFIG_SUSPEND2). Already cleaned up in 2.2.0.1.

It gets unbroken if replaced with suspend2 (and I guess swsusp) :). This is 
from Hugang's patch, so I'm not claiming expert knowledge on this bit.

That's the workqueue stuff, so it's not what you're thinking. There are a 
number of routines that aren't changed.

It used to be (when I had SMP support and mainline didn't), and this is a 
vestage thought was still useful. Since you ask, I'll look at it again.

As mentioned above, I use a different method of storing the meta data 
(bitmaps). It's more space efficient, but I expect you won't want it because 
it will make your asm longer.

Agreed. It wasn't Suspend corrupting the data that I was checking for, but 
filesystems (XFS specifically) submitting I/O after freezing.

As mentioned above, I use these pseudo-pageflags to store almost all the 
metadata - which pages are to be saved, which are LRU, where they're to be 
copied to and from for the atomic copy etc. If I used real pageflags, I'd 
need four or five. This way, I leave the real ones free for people who really 
need them. By using pseudo-pageflags, I also make serialising the metadata 
much simpler (just another page to r/w).

You've seen the changes I have for process.c already. I'm yet to modify them 
to match what did get applied out of our recent discussions, but there's 
nothing you haven't seen. This file is just a result of moving some of the 
include/linx/sched.h declarations out, so you don't have to recompile 
everything that depends on sched.h just because you make a minor change to 
(say) a freezer function declaration.

It's not modified, but a new one. IIRC, the closest one to what I was after 
didn't return the info I needed.

Oops. The second comment should say storage manager, not userui.

That's good logic :). They're the flags used internally to record what options 
we're in. Could do with a cleanup (thanks!). The 'second status register' 
goes way back to when we used a /proc entry with multiple numbers (echo 1 2 3 
> config style). Some of those have been unused for ages.

It was just to provide finer grained debugging, which can be configured while 
suspending. You've seen this before.

Some more obsolete entries in there. Dbg_used and lvl_used let me change the 
debugging from the command line when trying to resume, and these flags were 
used so that the settings in the image header didn't overwrite the values 
given on the command line. I doubt they're ever used nowadays, so could go 
too. Will be out in the next release.

:) Christoph's patches made try_to_freeze() == run_todo_list, so it didn't 
matter. I think you will want it if you support starting a resume from an 
initrd and freeze processes before the atomic restore.

We're just making sure here that the stack page for the thread that gets 
started is in a page that won't be overwritten during the atomic restore. 
With that done, using stack in the atomic restore routine is safe.

What do you think I'm doing here? Actually volatile is just one of those 
cleanups that never got done by a user who didn't know they weren't needed to 
begin with :)

As mentioned above, different data structures; the code isn't duplicated.

They're just the routines shared by the writers (which shoudl really be called 
something different now that I've moved all the real work to this file :>). I 
think I could further clean this up, removing the header specific routines. 
And the point to it all is doing the async I/O and readahead, given just 
lists of blocks on devices and (via these routines) the pages to write. If 
uswsusp supported swapfiles and ordinary files, it would have something like 
this.

Yes. I should really clean this up and make it just another (optional) item in

You can use cryptoapi from userspace?

Support for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC. Rarely used and I think it's broken. (I

They're used for storing the lists of blocks on each dev in which we store the 
image. It has nothing to do with a speedup, but rather efficient storage of 
the metadata.

You have a nicer equivalent? I thought it was quite readable. Anyway, since it 
appears that it's now only used in one place, I can clean it up :) Done.

Simpler because it's not providing the same functionality.

Well, this way, we don't care if userspace doesn't come to the party. We can 
still suspend and resume without it.

Ooh. That comment is old :). This is the suspend2 specific part of the 
pageflags code above. It allows us to serialise the flags and relocate parts 
of the bitmap that will be overwritten when restoring the original kernel 
data.

This is telling the UI what to do (as opposed to userspace telling the kernel 
what to do ;-)).

No. It doesn't support letting the user configure the limit they want (without 
requiring a recompile) and it doesn't support storing a full image of memory. 
It is cleaner and simpler, but I'm not sure it would work as reliably under 
stress. I know I have cleanups to do here. There are surely still leftovers 
from when we used that memory pool and I know I currently have a bug to chase 
down.

Long time since I thought about them. Maybe someone has put the same thing

Another missed cleanup. The tricky bit here is that I don't know the final 
number of bytes sent to and output by the compressor until the end of writing 
the image, so to get the stats back at the end of resuming, it needs to be 
stored in the image header and then preserved during the atomic restore. I 
suppose re-reading the header at the end of resuming might be another idea. 
Will think on this some more.

No, we didn't agree. You said it, and I rejected your assertion. I believe I'm 
allowed to listen and disagree.

Yes. FBsplash can be pretty painful on slow cpus (I think there's some 
inefficiency in there that could be addressed, but haven't bothered to do so 
myself). Letting users control the progress bar lets them have a nice looking 
display without making the process take 10x longer.

Christoph's patch, as I said above, no longer in 2.2.0.1.

Remember that we save the image in two parts - LRU and rest. Your userspace 
program's pages are going to be in the LRU, so to let it run during suspend, 
we need to make them part of the atomic copy instead. This lets us find and 
mark those pages as not being saved with the rest of the LRU, but instead as 
part of the atomic copy.

Iff the freezer is on (we're suspending) and we actually manage to reach this 
far down in the code. (In this case, we're already on the slow path).

Look at the diffstat for 2.2.0.1 and re-evaluate this assertion. Look again in 
the next release (when I've applied more cleanups).

Remember though that you're making this assertion without actually having done 
any of that work. You don't know how much you'll have to add to userspace or 
kernel space to make this work. When you've actually done it, and we can 
compare apples with apples, then I'll listen to comparisons of lines added 
and removed.

Writing the image isn't fundamental?

I'm not going to waste my time. I have a working implementation today, and if 
I were to waste my time porting it to userspace, you'd reject it anyway. If 
and when you decide that you want to work on a userspace port, feel free.
