Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/3] swsusp: Free more memory
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2007 20:14:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200704222014.01941.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200704222010.21999.rjw@sisk.pl>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Move the definition of PAGES_FOR_IO to kernel/power/power.h and introduce
SPARE_PAGES representing the number of pages that should be freed by the
swsusp's memory shrinker in addition to PAGES_FOR_IO so that device drivers can
allocate some memory (up to 1 MB total) in their .suspend() routines without
causing the suspend to fail.
