Subject: [PATCH] PM: hibernate: swap: defer linking the next map page
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:26:27 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714072627.3165744-1-mattkim513@gmail.com> (raw)
Delay allocating and linking the next swap_map_page until another image
page actually needs to be recorded.
The previous code linked and wrote a new swap map page as soon as the
current one became full. When the image size was an exact multiple of
MAP_PAGE_ENTRIES, that left an empty final map page that existed only to
terminate the on-disk chain.
Instead, keep a full map page in memory and only allocate the next map page
when the next image page arrives. This preserves the resume chain while
avoiding an unnecessary swap slot allocation and write for the empty
swap map page.
