I thought we are preserving all > files.. I could be missing something, but I haven't noticed any attempt to preserve anything except the sysfs files. I tried modifying the max frequency, using echo 800000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq echo 800000 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq After supend + resume the boot CPU still had the modifed maximum, while the non-boot core was reset to the default value. I changed the gid of both files too, verifying that they were saved and restored as expected. But the value will change to default. IMHO it would still be a lot better if this was handled as a true hotplug event, allowing userspace to reset values/modes/owners on resume. Hiding the hotplug event and saving part of the userspace controlled environment is worse than not doing anything at all.
