Tainted: S

Tainted: S

[Nigel Cunningham]

Hi all.

With the latest prepatch for the 2.4 version of swsusp, I've made swsusp
taint the kernel upon resume from a suspend-to-disk. Any oopses that
occur afterwards will contain S as a third character (eg PFS). This so
that maintainers can be aware that software suspend might play a role in
any oopses they get.

Note that this doesn't apply to the version of software suspend in the
2.5 tree at the moment. I intend to port the 2.4 patch to 2.5/6, but if
I succeed in getting it merged, it will take a while (2.7 I guess), so
software suspend may play a role in cases where you don't get an 'S'.

Regards,

Nigel

2.5 already uses 'S' to mark "out-of-spec SMP system".

Ah ok. How about 'Z' then? (As in zzzzz).

Sounds good to me 8-)

Tainted: Z (was Tainted: S)

[Nigel Cunningham]

Applied. So if you get 'Tainted: Z' now, you know the person has
suspended to disk using 2.4 code at least once.
