The suspend2 discussion resumes

Speaking of quotes, this one from Linus made me chuckle:

'... so there's no need to have a "synchronization event" when ram and devices match. The RAM will *always* match whatever any particular device has done to it...'

I work for a memory manufacturer, and the group I'm in was created a few years ago because our chips used to be so bad at coming out of "self refresh", the low-power state used in suspend-to-RAM. Our VP was tired of apologizing to our customers, so he put us in charge of making sure those kinds of problems don't happen again.

Luckily for you all, our memory is much, much better now than it was back then. But Linus, "always" is a pretty strong word! ;)
