Currently the default compression algorithm is selected based on compile time options. Introduce a module parameter "hibernate.compressor" to override this behaviour. Different compression algorithms have different characteristics and hibernation may benefit when it uses any of these algorithms, especially when a secondary algorithm(LZ4) offers better decompression speeds over a default algorithm(LZO), which in turn reduces hibernation image restore time. Users can override the default algorithm in two ways: 1) Passing "hibernate.compressor" as kernel command line parameter. Usage: LZO: hibernate.compressor=lzo LZ4: hibernate.compressor=lz4 2) Specifying the algorithm at runtime. Usage: LZO: echo lzo > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor LZ4: echo lz4 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor Currently LZO and LZ4 are the supported algorithms. LZO is the default compression algorithm used with hibernation. Signed-off-by: Nikhil V <quic_nprakash@quicinc.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
