[RFC][PATCH 0/3] swsusp: Stop using page flags

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Sun Mar 11 2007 - 06:33:56 EST


Hi,

The following three patches make swsusp use its own data structures for memory
management instead of special page flags. Thus the page flags used so far by
swsusp (PG_nosave, PG_nosave_free) can be used for other purposes and I believe
there are some urgend needs of them. :-)

Last week I sent these patches to the linux-pm and linux-mm lists and there
were no negative comments. Also I've been testing them on my x86_64 boxes for
a few days and apparently they don't break anything. I think they can go into
-mm for testing.

Comments are welcome.

Greetings,
Rafael
