Subject: suspend-to-ram on athlons
Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2001 22:01:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011207220130.A9253@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)

Hi!

suspend-to-ram was not working on athlons... Now I found the reason...

We wrote some data to memory, and then told hw to powerdown everything
but memory.

But somehow data were not in memory.

So I added mdelay(1000) and printk().

Data were still not in memory.

So I added wbinvd().

Yep, that helped. That means that athlons happily write-back-cache
data for 1 second.... Ouch.

Okay, I just did not expect *that* kind of trick being played at me.

								Pavel
