Exciting ;) It's much less code than I expected. I don't think I understand the feature any more. Once upon a time we thought that this might become a new and better (or at least better-code-sharing) way of doing suspend-to-disk. How far are we from that? What are the prospects of supporting other architectures? Who maintains kexec-tools, and are they OK with merging up the corresponding changes? Thanks. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
