Hi,
but did embedded system will really use swap interface ?
Often they don't have swap and can already save suspend image in disk/nand :
- SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE
- read it from /dev/snapshot and write it to a file.
The only problem with the current interface, is that you can't SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE
before reading the image.
But this is need for some filesystem that have thread.
For example we have a demo where we save the suspend image in a ubi volume and
restore it from bootloader.
