Subject: swsusp: try to handle holes better
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@xxxxxxx>
However, on my box it only detects one nosave region which is between
0xa0000 and 0xe0000 and swsusp seems to omit this region as expected
(eg. it doesn't "restore" the VGA memory ;-) ).
Andrew, could you please see what happens during suspend on your 4 GB box
with this patch applied?
Theoretically it should fix the memory shrinker problem which I think occurs
because there's a huge gap between the last two continuous RAM regions
on this box and without the patch this gap is treated as an area of saveable
memory. However, I'm not sure if it fixes the oops - this depends on
whether the address ranges corresponding to non-RAM e820 entreis have
valid virtual addresses in the kernel identity mapping. If not, it would oops
on a different address than before.
Besides the patch only makes swsusp aviod explicit memory gaps, but I'm not
quite sure if some other non-RAM e820 areas should be saved. If not, there
may be some problems during or after resume.
