Subject: [ 23/23] [Suspend2] Don't scan LRU while freezer is on.
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 13:46:12 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060126034612.3178.23890.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060126034518.3178.55397.stgit@localhost.localdomain>
Stop processes from initiating scanning of the LRU while the freezer is on.
This is primarily for the benefit of Suspend2, which could conceivably
trigger LRU scanning through this path while writing the image, and would
thus generate an inconsistent image and through it all sorts of trouble.
