Subject: [PATCH] PM / Hibernate: Reduce autotuned default image size
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:42:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201103150042.23288.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
The hibernate image size autotuning mechanism sets the default
image size to 5/2 of the total system RAM, but it is reported
that on some systems device drivers allocate substantial
amounts of memory during suspend and the creation of the image
fails as a result (too little memory is preallocated).
Modify the autotuning mechanism to use 1/3 instead of 2/5 of RAM
as the default image size, which is reported to be sufficient for
the affected systems.
