Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/10] mm, swap: hold swap space back for a hibernation image at swapon
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 12:16:58 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915031658.1505680-11-youngjun.park@lge.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915031658.1505680-1-youngjun.park@lge.com>
Hibernation takes whatever clusters are free when it runs, and an aged
device may have no long run of them.
At swapon, ask hibernation_reserve_pages() how much to hold back and set
aside that many empty clusters in a row. Nothing uses the device yet,
so this needs no locking. The run leaves si->pages and goes on no list,
so the allocator never sees it. Hibernation hands it out whole, before
any other slot. More than half of a device is refused.
