Subject: [PATCH] [MIPS] Hibernation: only save pages in system ram

From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzj@...ote.com>

when using hibernation(STD) with CONFIG_FLATMEM in linux-mips-64bit, it
fails for the current mips-specific hibernation implementation save the
pages in all of the memory space(except the nosave section) and make
there will be not enough memory left to the STD task itself, and then
fail. in reality, we only need to save the pages in system rams.

here is the reason why it fail:

kernel/power/snapshot.c:

static void mark_nosave_pages(struct memory_bitmap *bm)
{
		...
		if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
			...
		}
}

arch/mips/include/asm/page.h:

	...
	#ifdef CONFIG_FLATMEM

	#define pfn_valid(pfn)		((pfn) >= ARCH_PFN_OFFSET && (pfn) < max_mapnr)

	#elif defined(CONFIG_SPARSEMEM)

	/* pfn_valid is defined in linux/mmzone.h */
	...

we can rewrite pfn_valid(pfn) to fix this problem, but I really do not
want to touch such a widely-used macro, so, I used another solution:

static struct page *saveable_page(struct zone *zone, unsigned long pfn)
{
	...
	if ( .... pfn_is_nosave(pfn)
		return NULL;
	...
}

and pfn_is_nosave is implemented in arch/mips/power/cpu.c, so, hacking
this one is better.
