[PATCH -mm] swsusp: make image size limit tunable

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Sun Dec 11 2005 - 07:17:50 EST


Hi,

The following patch makes the suspend image size limit tunable via
/sys/power/image_size.

It is necessary for systems on which there is a limited amount of swap
available for suspend. It can also be useful for optimizing performance of
swsusp on systems with 1 GB of RAM or more.

This patch depends on the swsusp-limit-image-size patch.

Please apply.

Greetings,
Rafael

+/sys/power/image_size controls the size of the image created by
+the suspend-to-disk mechanism. It can be written a string

+limit of the image size, in megabytes. The suspend-to-disk mechanism will
+do its best to ensure the image size will not exceed that number. However,
