A: That's right. It depends on your hardware, and it could be true even for suspend-to-RAM. In fact, even with "-o sync" you can lose data if your programs have information in buffers they haven't written out to disk. If you're lucky, your hardware will support low-power modes for USB controllers while the system is asleep. Lots of hardware doesn't, however. Shutting off the power to a USB controller is equivalent to unplugging all the attached devices. Remember that it's always a bad idea to unplug a disk drive containing a mounted filesystem. With USB that's true even when your system is asleep! The safest thing is to unmount all USB-based filesystems before suspending and remount them after resuming. Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt 0 → 100644 +149 −0 Original line number Original line Diff line number Diff line Documentation for userland software suspend interface (C) 2006 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> First, the warnings at the beginning of swsusp.txt still apply. Second, you should read the FAQ in swsusp.txt _now_ if you have not done it already. Now, to use the userland interface for software suspend you need special utilities that will read/write the system memory snapshot from/to the kernel. Such utilities are available, for example, from <http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/utilities/suspend>. You may want to have a look at them if you are going to develop your own suspend/resume utilities. The interface consists of a character device providing the open(), release(), read(), and write() operations as well as several ioctl() commands defined in kernel/power/power.h. The major and minor numbers of the device are, respectively, 10 and 231, and they can be read from /sys/class/misc/snapshot/dev. The device can be open either for reading or for writing. If open for reading, it is considered to be in the suspend mode. Otherwise it is assumed to be in the resume mode. The device cannot be open for reading and writing. It is also impossible to have the device open more than once at a time. The ioctl() commands recognized by the device are: SNAPSHOT_FREEZE - freeze user space processes (the current process is not frozen); this is required for SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT and SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE to succeed SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE - thaw user space processes frozen by SNAPSHOT_FREEZE SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT - create a snapshot of the system memory; the last argument of ioctl() should be a pointer to an int variable, the value of which will indicate whether the call returned after creating the snapshot (1) or after restoring the system memory state from it (0) (after resume the system finds itself finishing the SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT ioctl() again); after the snapshot has been created the read() operation can be used to transfer it out of the kernel SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE - restore the system memory state from the uploaded snapshot image; before calling it you should transfer the system memory snapshot back to the kernel using the write() operation; this call will not succeed if the snapshot image is not available to the kernel SNAPSHOT_FREE - free memory allocated for the snapshot image SNAPSHOT_SET_IMAGE_SIZE - set the preferred maximum size of the image (the kernel will do its best to ensure the image size will not exceed this number, but if it turns out to be impossible, the kernel will create the smallest image possible) SNAPSHOT_AVAIL_SWAP - return the amount of available swap in bytes (the last argument should be a pointer to an unsigned int variable that will contain the result if the call is successful). SNAPSHOT_GET_SWAP_PAGE - allocate a swap page from the resume partition (the last argument should be a pointer to a loff_t variable that will contain the swap page offset if the call is successful) SNAPSHOT_FREE_SWAP_PAGES - free all swap pages allocated with SNAPSHOT_GET_SWAP_PAGE SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE - set the resume partition (the last ioctl() argument should specify the device's major and minor numbers in the old two-byte format, as returned by the stat() function in the .st_rdev member of the stat structure); it is recommended to always use this call, because the code to set the resume partition could be removed from future kernels The device's read() operation can be used to transfer the snapshot image from the kernel. It has the following limitations: - you cannot read() more than one virtual memory page at a time - read()s accross page boundaries are impossible (ie. if ypu read() 1/2 of a page in the previous call, you will only be able to read() _at_ _most_ 1/2 of the page in the next call) The device's write() operation is used for uploading the system memory snapshot into the kernel. It has the same limitations as the read() operation. The release() operation frees all memory allocated for the snapshot image and all swap pages allocated with SNAPSHOT_GET_SWAP_PAGE (if any). Thus it is not necessary to use either SNAPSHOT_FREE or SNAPSHOT_FREE_SWAP_PAGES before closing the device (in fact it will also unfreeze user space processes frozen by SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE if they are still frozen when the device is being closed). Currently it is assumed that the userland utilities reading/writing the snapshot image from/to the kernel will use a swap parition, called the resume partition, as storage space. However, this is not really required, as they can use, for example, a special (blank) suspend partition or a file on a partition that is unmounted before SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT and mounted afterwards. These utilities SHOULD NOT make any assumptions regarding the ordering of data within the snapshot image, except for the image header that MAY be assumed to start with an swsusp_info structure, as specified in kernel/power/power.h. This structure MAY be used by the userland utilities to obtain some information about the snapshot image, such as the size of the snapshot image, including the metadata and the header itself, contained in the .size member of swsusp_info. The snapshot image MUST be written to the kernel unaltered (ie. all of the image data, metadata and header MUST be written in _exactly_ the same amount, form and order in which they have been read). Otherwise, the behavior of the resumed system may be totally unpredictable. While executing SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE the kernel checks if the structure of the snapshot image is consistent with the information stored in the image header. If any inconsistencies are detected, SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE will not succeed. Still, this is not a fool-proof mechanism and the userland utilities using the interface SHOULD use additional means, such as checksums, to ensure the integrity of the snapshot image. The suspending and resuming utilities MUST lock themselves in memory, preferrably using mlockall(), before calling SNAPSHOT_FREEZE. The suspending utility MUST check the value stored by SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT in the memory location pointed to by the last argument of ioctl() and proceed in accordance with it: 1. If the value is 1 (ie. the system memory snapshot has just been created and the system is ready for saving it): (a) The suspending utility MUST NOT close the snapshot device _unless_ the whole suspend procedure is to be cancelled, in which case, if the snapshot image has already been saved, the suspending utility SHOULD destroy it, preferrably by zapping its header. If the suspend is not to be cancelled, the system MUST be powered off or rebooted after the snapshot image has been saved. (b) The suspending utility SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any file system operations (including reads) on the file systems that were mounted before SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT has been called. However, it MAY mount a file system that was not mounted at that time and perform some operations on it (eg. use it for saving the image). 2. If the value is 0 (ie. the system state has just been restored from the snapshot image), the suspending utility MUST close the snapshot device. Afterwards it will be treated as a regular userland process, so it need not exit. The resuming utility SHOULD NOT attempt to mount any file systems that could be mounted before suspend and SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any operations involving such file systems.

The snapshot image MUST be written to the kernel unaltered (ie. all of the image data, metadata and header MUST be written in _exactly_ the same amount, form and order in which they have been read). Otherwise, the behavior of the resumed system may be totally unpredictable. While executing SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE the kernel checks if the structure of the snapshot image is consistent with the information stored in the image header. If any inconsistencies are detected, SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE will not succeed. Still, this is not a fool-proof mechanism and the userland utilities using the interface SHOULD use additional means, such as checksums, to ensure the integrity of the snapshot image. The suspending and resuming utilities MUST lock themselves in memory, preferrably using mlockall(), before calling SNAPSHOT_FREEZE. The suspending utility MUST check the value stored by SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT in the memory location pointed to by the last argument of ioctl() and proceed in accordance with it: 1. If the value is 1 (ie. the system memory snapshot has just been created and the system is ready for saving it): (a) The suspending utility MUST NOT close the snapshot device _unless_ the whole suspend procedure is to be cancelled, in which case, if the snapshot image has already been saved, the suspending utility SHOULD destroy it, preferrably by zapping its header. If the suspend is not to be cancelled, the system MUST be powered off or rebooted after the snapshot image has been saved. (b) The suspending utility SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any file system operations (including reads) on the file systems that were mounted before SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_SNAPSHOT has been called. However, it MAY mount a file system that was not mounted at that time and perform some operations on it (eg. use it for saving the image). 2. If the value is 0 (ie. the system state has just been restored from the snapshot image), the suspending utility MUST close the snapshot device. Afterwards it will be treated as a regular userland process, so it need not exit. The resuming utility SHOULD NOT attempt to mount any file systems that could be mounted before suspend and SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any operations involving such file systems. For details, please refer to the source code.

We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is neccessary on particular system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of them. Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist entry so that work does not need to be repeated. Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed, so it makes debugging of early resume problems hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable.
