Thanks a lot.

I know nothing about hwsusp, to the point I don't even know what it does.
I'll try to do some reading tomorrow.

Right now,

This is not precisely correct. We cam schedule the wrong vmstat_work
if this timer/work migrates to another CPU. I'd suggest

	schedule_delayed_work(container_of(w, struct delayed_work, work))

This should not happen because we are doing cancel_rearming_delayed_work()
below, however:

we need a "break;" before "case CPU_DOWN_FAILED", otherwise we re-start
vmstat_update() immediately.

This is a bug, but I am not sure is this the only problem.

Oleg.
