v4.7_0472_vrq0 patch released

Finally, v4.7_0472_vrq0 patch released

Please check it out at bitbucket and github, all-in-one patch is also available.

It's based on BFS 0472 and *no new code changes* from 4.6 vrq branch. As cpu hotplug api changes in 4.7 which impact the availability of several cpumask bitmap during system init/suspend/resume phase. There are some code modification in individual commits to adapter these changes.

The patch is running fine on 3 of my machines and no suspend/resume regression is observed so far. Sanity tests will be on the way.

The next release will be the vrq1 patch which to  merge/rearrange some commits and prepare for the -test branch.

Enjoy this vrq patch for 4.7 and your feedback will be always welcome.

  1. Mmmh, on my system all processes come up on cpu core 0 (first of two) after resuming from suspend-to-disk and suspend-to-RAM. Seeems like their affinity gets set to 0x1 instead of 0x3.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, Manuel Krause
