Hi. Thanks for the reply. I hadn't looked at the hot/cold stuff before. I sussed it out this morning and added a condition to the test for refilling the pcp arrays, stopping them from being refilled during a suspend/resume cycle. Now everything works fine in that area for me. I'll check that there aren't any other calls to refill the pcp arrays, so I can be sure it will work with interrupts enabled and whenever smp support is added to swsusp. Now I just have to get the image written and read back and switch from using page flags to dynamically allocated bitmaps, as I said I would. Thanks again for the reply and regards, Nigel On Wed, 2003-03-12 at 13:25, Andrew Morton wrote:

Hi all. I've come across the following problem in 2.5.64. Here's example output. The header is one page - all messages only have a single call to get_zeroed_page between the printings and the same code works asnr_free_pages() does not account for the pages in the per-cpu head arrays. You can make the numbers look right via drain_local_pages(), but that is only 100% reliable on uniprocessor with interrupts disabled.
