  • fglrx 8.41.7, suspend and SLUB allocator

    Hello,
    Has anyone had a chance to test whether linux suspend works with CONFIG_SLUB=y? Previous versions of fglrx had problems (read: hard hang) when trying to suspend with CONFIG=SLUB=y.

    The reason is that CONFIG_SLUB=y is much faster than it's predecessor (SLAB) and SLUB allocator is also coming the default for kernel config.

    Not much information available, just few: http://ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/k...06.2/0337.html

    hmm, I experienced the hard hang with the SLUB allocator back when using 8.40.4. I haven't tried the 8.41.7 series yet since I have a fireGL card, but thanks for letting me know why my computer froze when I tried to suspend. Spent a lot of time tracking it down...

      I'll be trying SLUB, suspend and fglrx when Linux kernel 2.6.23 gets out.
