[RFC][PATCH 0/3] swsusp: Stop using page flags
- From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@xxxxxxx>

Hi,
The following three patches make swsusp use its own data structures for memory
management instead of special page flags. Thus the page flags used so far by
swsusp (PG_nosave, PG_nosave_free) can be used for other purposes and I believe
there are some urgend needs of them. :-)
Last week I sent these patches to the linux-pm and linux-mm lists and there
were no negative comments. Also I've been testing them on my x86_64 boxes for
a few days and apparently they don't break anything. I think they can go into
-mm for testing.
Comments are welcome.
Greetings,
Rafael
