** Summary changed:
- Requested changes to support suspend/resume testing
+ Changes to support suspend/hibernate/resume testing
** Description changed:
+ In order to maximise testing and reporting on failed
+ suspend/hibernate/resume cycles we are proposing to modify processing
+ such it is possible to track whether a suspend/hibernate was in
+ progress. This allows us to detect this on normal boot and then report
+ it via apport to launchpad. Additionally we are delivering a suspend
+ stress test. Change fall into three parts:
+
+ - kernel: shipping the suspend stress test script with the kernel image
itself,
+ - pm-utils: modifications to actually track the what operations are in
progress, and
+ - apport: adding a new type of report for failed operations.
+
+ ---
+
There are changes required to apport in order to support reporting of
suspend/resume problems. During suspend and hibernate, pm-utils will
create a 'flag' file while going down, and remove it while coming up.
When the apport init script start function runs, it will check for the
existence of this flag file. If it is present, it is assumed that a
previous resume failed and that the user restarted the machine.
These changes to apport add the check in the init script. If the flag
file exists, then a python script is called which creates a crash report
file in /var/crash for later processing by apport, and the flag file is
deleted.
Martin Pitt has reviewed these and approved them, but he's on holiday
this week, so could someone else please push them into Jaunty?
