Linux Rafael J. Wysocki (a suspend maintainer) has written an article speaking about the current status of suspend and hibernation support in Linux, its design, know problems, and future development. "Below is a document describing the current state of development of the suspend and hibernation infrastructure: how it works, what known problems there are in it and what the future development plans are (at least as far as I am concerned)."

How "arguing between devs and user space folks about this" is going to stop or improve suspend is a mistery to me. What the h*ll does userspace cares about this?

Also, this is a first for me - I am apparently part of the anti-Linux thread on OSNews. My friends would find that pretty funny. I love Linux (a song I thing Joan Jett should sing by the way), and healthy criticism is a good thing.


[EDIT: added note about "anti-Linux" comment.

The guys that implement uswsusp are exactly the same people who write the kernel suspend implementation. There're no "userspace folks". They are all of them "devs", and they don't need to argue with "userspace people". If Linux is going to use uswsusp or tuxonice is the least of the problems, if you read the doc.


healthy criticism is a good thing.

No disagreement here. Healthy criticism is great.

Actually, the last I read from Linus he felt both were inadequate and that something else needed to be done - someing entirely new, even. Maybe I am remembering wrong.
