Hi, The appended patch does the following: 1) Adds suspend_console() and resume_console() to the suspend-to-disk code paths so that people using netconsole are safe with swsusp. 2) Adds a Kconfig option allowing us to disable suspend_/resume_console() if need be. 3) Marks CONFIG_PM_TRACE as dangerous. Comments welcome. Greetings, Rafael Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
