Subject: Re: Fwd: kernel fault on hibernation: get_zeroed_page/swsusp_write

Hi all, Hi Bagas S.

As the issue didn't reproduce the way I would have liked (did not
reproduce at all here, not even with the same kernel version; no
further comment) I have now uploaded the /proc/kcore and the kernel
binaries and symbol files I still had on disk at
https://upload.elstel.info (This may move to something like
upload.elstel.info/bugs/kernpagealloc in the future)

Regards,
Elmar

On the third attempt something strange did happen. It seemed to write to disk as it should, the screen turned black but the power led and button still stayed alighted. Waking up by pressing the power button did not yield any effect, nor the SysRq keys (alas forgot to write 511 to >/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq). After a hard power reset it booted as if not hibernated. On the first hibernation attempt I could see lengthy and intermittent disk access. On the third attempt I had waited for some considerable time.
