Subject: [PATCH] PM / Hibernation: Fix *massive* memory leak at early exits in hibernation
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:09:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111121173939.9486.38357.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> (raw)

At some of the early exit points during hibernation (exiting either due
to failure or after a successful hibernation test, the memory pre-allocated
for hibernation is not freed up. And this is *very* serious, because, during
pre-allocation, it could have allocated upto a few *gigabytes* of memory!
And hence, if a hibernation fails or even if we run some hibernation tests
using the 'pm_test' framework, the system is rendered unstable due to memory
becoming signifantly lower. Fix this bug.
