Hi Rafael, I happened to be doing some benchmarks on the older shrink_all_memory(), Hopefully it can be a useful reference point for the new design. The current swsusp_shrink_memory()/shrink_all_memory() are terribly inefficient: it takes 7-9s to free up 1.4G memory: [ 131.899389] PM: Freed 1413380 kbytes in 7.03 seconds (201.04 MB/s) [ 732.757916] PM: Freed 1490116 kbytes in 9.37 seconds (159.03 MB/s) Below are the logs I collected by injecting printks. There are basically two major problems: - swsusp_shrink_memory() scans the whole 2G memory again and again; - shrink_all_memory() is slow. It won't reclaim pages at all with small priority values, because it's batching size is 10000 pages. I wonder if it's possible to free up the memory within 1s at all. (Maybe the slowness is due to too much enabled debugging options...) Thanks, Fengguang --- vanilla 2.6.30-rc2-next-20090417: [ 124.516187] PM: Marking nosave pages: 0000000000001000 - 0000000000006000 [ 124.523087] PM: Marking nosave pages: 000000000009f000 - 0000000000100000 [ 124.530060] PM: Basic memory bitmaps created [ 124.534421] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
