You might or might not want to do that. Dropping caches around suspend makes the hibernation process itself faster, but the realtime response of the applications afterwards is worse, as everything touched by user has to be paged in again.Right, do you know of a real use-case where people hibernate, then resume and still care about applications response time right afterwards?
Well if the point of dropping caches is lowering the resume time, then the point is rendered moot as soon as you switch to your browser and have to wait noticeable amount of time until it starts reacting. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
