Hi.
I'm going to stand firm on this one, Pavel.
I think being able to cancel a suspend is a really useful feature, and I'll be surprised if we don't see Microsoft including it in their next version of Windows (perhaps I should take a patent out! :>)
That's not to say that I haven't listened to you, however. That's why I tightened up the requirements for using it yesterday. As to the extra proc entry, it's not a biggie: 2.4 swsusp now has it's own proc handling code which is easily extensible. I did this to make it easier to understand.
This...
[nigel@laptop-linux nigel]$ ls -l /proc/swsusp/ total 0 --w------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 activate -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 async_io_limit -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 beeping -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 checkpage -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 debug_sections -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 default_console_level -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 enable_escape -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 image_size_limit -r-------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 interface_version -r-------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 last_result -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 log_everything -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 no_async_reads -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 no_async_writes -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 no_output -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 nopageset2 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 pause_between_steps -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 progressbar_granularity_limit -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 reboot -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 slow -r-------- 1 root root 0 Jul 15 08:28 version [nigel@laptop-linux nigel]$
is easier to understand and configure. The /proc/sys/kernel/swsusp interface is still there to make it easy to save & restore them all at once.
Regards,
Nigel

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. -- Romans 5:6, NIV.
