Hi,
This patch implements suspend/resume functions for LXC
using cgroups freezer subsystem.
The use of freezer is quite simple and well documented
in Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt. The patch
just uses it as it is. That is like:
# freeze the container
echo FROZEN > /target/container/freezer.state
# unfreeze the container
echo THAWED > /target/container/freezer.state
However, freezer sometimes looks behaving different from the
document. The document is saying "It's important to note that
freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY.",
but in the case returning 0, freezing can be incomplete under
load. So the code doesn't believe the return value and always
check the content of freezer.state to identify whether the
freezing is finished.
Please refer to the comments in the code for more details.
And the patch modifies domain_conf.c that assumes
obj->monitor_chr != NULL but that is true only when qemu.
Thanks,
ozaki-r
