    hibernation: freeze swap at hibernation · d2997b10
    KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
    When taking a memory snapshot in hibernate_snapshot(), all (directly
    called) memory allocations use GFP_ATOMIC.  Hence swap misusage during
    hibernation never occurs.
    
    But from a pessimistic point of view, there is no guarantee that no page
    allcation has __GFP_WAIT.  It is better to have a global indication "we
    enter hibernation, don't use swap!".
    
    This patch tries to freeze new-swap-allocation during hibernation.  (All
    user processes are frozenm so swapin is not a concern).
    
    This way, no updates will happen to swap_map[] between
    hibernate_snapshot() and save_image().  Swap is thawed when swsusp_free()
    is called.  We can be assured that swap corruption will not occur.
