Well, interesting point would be just before this commit:
commit 8357376d3df21b7d6f857931a57ac50da9c66e26 tree daf2c369e9b79d24c1666323b3ae75189e482a4a parent bf73bae6ba0dc4bd4f1e570feb34a06b72725af6 author Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Wed, 06 Dec 2006 20:34:18 -0800 committer Linus Torvalds <torvalds@woody.osdl.org> Thu, 07 Dec 2006 08:39:27 -0800
[PATCH] swsusp: Improve handling of highmem
Currently swsusp saves the contents of highmem pages by copying them to the normal zone which is quite inefficient (eg. it requires two normal pages to be used for saving one highmem page). This may be improved by using highmem for saving the contents of saveable highmem pages.
...highmem handling was way simpler in those good old days ;-) Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
