I the meantime I added a patch that attempts to computer the size of the hard
core working set. I also had to rework the patch reworking
swsusp_shrink_memory() so that it takes highmem into account.
Currently, the patchset consists of the following patches:
[1/6] - disable the OOM kernel after freezing tasks (this will be dropped if
it's verified that we can avoid the OOM killing by using
__GFP_FS|__GFP_WAIT|__GFP_NORETRY|__GFP_NOWARN
in the next patches).
[2/6] - drop memory shrinking from the suspend (to RAM) code path
[3/6] - move swsusp_shrink_memory() to snapshot.c
[4/6] - rework swsusp_shrink_memory() (to use memory allocations for applying
memory pressure)
[5/6] - allocate image pages along with the shrinking
[6/6] - estimate the size of the hard core working set and use it as the lower
limit of the image size.
Comments welcome.
Thanks,
Rafael
