(Resend because I mistyped the maintainer's email address the first time.) The kernel's EFI stub locates and copies EFI ROM images into memory, which it allocates using the byte-granular EFI allocate_pool function. These memory ranges are then added to setup_data, and later to e820 (in e820__reserve_setup_data()). The e820 ranges are parsed to create nosave regions (in e820__register_nosave_regions()), but when non-page-aligned e820 regions are parsed, a nosave page is added at the beginning and end of each non-page-aligned region, which results in data not getting saved or restored during a hibernate/resume. This can result in random failures after a hibernate/resume. Round up the allocation size to a whole number of pages, and use EFI allocate_pages to ensure that the EFI ROM copy regions are page-aligned. On a system with six EFI ROM images, before the patch: e820: update [mem 0x64866020-0x6486e05f] usable ==> usable e820: update [mem 0x6147a020-0x61499c5f] usable ==> usable e820: update [mem 0x60fff020-0x6105785f] usable ==> usable e820: update [mem 0x60fa6020-0x60ffe85f] usable ==> usable e820: update [mem 0x60f4d020-0x60fa585f] usable ==> usable e820: update [mem 0x60ef4020-0x60f4c85f] usable ==> usable ...
