Subject: [PATCH 1/1] suspend: make sync() on suspend-to-RAM optional
From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>
The Linux kernel suspend path has traditionally invoked sys_sync().
But sys_sync() can be expensive, and some systems do not want
to pay the cost of sys_sync() on every suspend.
So make sys_sync on suspend optional.
Create sysfs attribute /sys/power/pm_suspend_do_sync.
When set to 1, the kernel will sys_sync() on suspend,
When set to 0, it will not.
This attribute can be changed by root at run-time.
Kernel build parameter CONFIG_PM_SUSPEND_DO_SYNC_DEFAULT.
As this is 1, by default, this patch does not change
default behavior.
