Yinghai's patches fixed the e820 not page aligned issue that's one of the issues on bug reporter's machine. I found another issue of the BIOS that sometimes it doesn't really keep the e820 table unchanging for hibernate resuming, this BIOS issue causes the total available page number checking fail. I will file another openSUSE bug to separate those 2 issues. > > > Reported-by: "Lee, Chun-Yi" > > Tested-by: "Lee, Chun-Yi" > > Cc: "Lee, Chun-Yi" > > Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu > > Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org > > Hmm, although the bug is reported for a 3.12 kernel, I assume this is for > stable 3.10+?
