OK, I think I understand it. Even the vram is stolen system memory, but OS won't treat it as the system memory, and actually do not save the vram to disk like the system memory that OS identified in hibernation. So we have to evict it in hibernation. If yes, I think this patch should be OK. > > The problem is Paul doesn't address the real underlying issue, but > instead just mitigating it by stopping VRAM eviction when hibernation > isn't compiled into the kernel. Yes. I also think this is probably not the root cause. > > The correct way would be to detect if we are suspending or hibernating > and evict VRAM based on that information. > Agree, that make sense.
