[PATCH 4/4] ACPI hibernate: Introduce new kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>
Subject: ACPI hibernate: Introduce new kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs

On some machines it may be necessary to disable the saving/restoring
of the ACPI NVS memory region during hibernation/resume.  For this
purpose, introduce new ACPI kernel command line option
acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs.

Based on a patch by Zhang Rui.
