Hi! > It would seem that swsusp doesn't properly suspend devices, or more > precisely it wakes them up again before suspending the machine. Yes, and that's okay. What happens to devices during swsusp? They seem to be resumed during system suspend? A: That's correct. We need to resume them if we want to write image to disk. Whole sequence goes like Suspend part ~~~~~~~~~~~~ running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk user processes are stopped suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere with state snapshot state snapshot: copy of whole used memory is taken with interrupts disabled resume(): devices are woken up so that we can write image to swap write image to swap suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND): suspend devices so that we can power off turn the power off Resume part ~~~~~~~~~~~ (is actually pretty similar) running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk user processes are stopped (in common case there are none, but with resume-from-initrd, noone k\nows) read image from disk suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere with image restoration image restoration: rewrite memory with image resume(): devices are woken up so that system can continue thaw all user processes -- if you have sharp zaurus hardware you don't need... you know my address
