+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 I have the impression that the code in kernel/power/process.c was
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 compiled only if CONFIG+AF8-PM+AF8-SLEEP was set. Now that the code has been
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 moved to kernel/freezer.c, it is unconditionnaly compiled in every
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 kernel. Is that correct ?
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 If so, is it possible to put this new feature under some
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 CONFIG+AF8-SOMETHING option, for people who care about the kernel size ?
+AD4 +AD4 
+AD4 +AD4 	How about making it depend on a combination of CONFIG variables?
+AD4 +AD4 Here's an RFC PATCH. Completely untested.

+AD4 Can you please also make the contents of include/linux/freezer.h depend on
+AD4 CONFIG+AF8-FREEZER instead of CONFIG+AF8-PM+AF8-SLEEP?

Good point -- I'll add that to this patch and repost.

+AD4 Also, I'm not really sure if kernel/power/Kconfig is the right place to define
+AD4 CONFIG+AF8-FREEZER.

	There's no nice place to put it since we're dealing with CONFIG+AF8
variables in two different Kconfig files. I put it in
kernel/power/Kconfig because I wasn't certain Kbuild would do the right
thing if I referenced PM+AF8-SLEEP from init/Kconfig.

+AD4 Perhaps we should even move freezer.c from kernel/power to kernel

It's already there. Perhaps you meant something else
(kernel/power/process.c?)?

+AD4 and define CONFIG+AF8-FREEZER in Kconfig in there.  Andrew, what do you think?

The Kconfig files in kernel/ are Kconfig.hz and Kconfig.preemt which
don't seem appropriate. I suppose we could add another (perhaps
Kconfig.cgroup).

Thanks for the review+ACE

Cheers,
