[maemo-developers] Kernel level checkpoint & restart

[From: Andrew Flegg]

Hi,

Today's LWN has an interesting article on a patchset being developed
to give checkpoint & restart functionality to Linux:

    http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/293575/03bb471d0d0b9261/

This'd effectively allow the kernel to freeze a process and restore it
at a later date. The immediate thought in my mind was using this to
help automatically deal with low-memory, low-battery and standby
problems in Maemo.

It's still very immature, but something Maemo kernel hackers may be
interested in.

Cheers,

Andrew
