How is that different from what I proposed, other than the requirement to pass the swap data stuctures between the two kernels? Even if you only expect hibernation to work only _most of the time_, suspending to swap means allocating a bunch of swap space that you intend to never be used as swap. The two functions don't really belong together. -- Joseph Fannin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
