Subject: [PATCH][Fix] swsusp: do not use memcpy for snapshotting memory
Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2006 10:38:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200607071038.42792.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)

swsusp should not use memcpy for snapshotting memory, because on some
architectures memcpy may increase preempt_count.  Then, as a result, wrong
value of preempt_count is stored in the image.

Replace memcpy in copy_data_pages with an open-coded loop.
