[PATCH] Documentation: power: swsusp: Fix script for unswapping

From: Pali RohÃr

System can have mmaped also character devices (e.g dri devices by X) or deleted
files. Running cat on character devices is really bad idea (system can hang) so
run cat only on regular files. Also mmaped files can have spaces in filenames.

A: Try running

-cat `cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u` > /dev/null
+cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u | while read file
+do
+ test -f "$file" && cat "$file" > /dev/null
+done

after resume. swapoff -a; swapon -a may also be useful.
