Thanks. > > Why do you think it will be faster? _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() are surely complex functions, involving work_queues and synchronization between boot cpu and non-boot cpu. On the contrary, to bring the cpu back to previous state is much simpler. For standby state, you barely need to do anything. For mem state, you only need to restore the registers and states of the CPU. - Leo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
