Wysocki" , Borislav Petkov , Ingo Molnar , Josh Poimboeuf , Pavel Machek , Linux PM list , Linux Kernel Mailing List , Thomas Gleixner , shuzzle@mailbox.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I am sorry, there has been parallel work between KASLR memory randomization and hibernation support. That's why hibernation was not tested, it was not supported when the feature was created. Communication will be better next time. I will work on identifying the problem and pushing a fix.
