    1. Why? Did I ever suggest I was going to? It was never planned nor is it needed.

    2. It would be nice to utilize lxc fully with that feature implemented.

    What about this gcc-5.4 warning:
    ---
    kernel/sched/bfs.o: warning: objtool: __schedule()+0x6da: duplicate frame pointer save

  5. Hi! I'm done with (stupid, maybe) porting to 4.7-rc4
    In this kernel was changed interface(?) with scheduler. I'm port the changes from cfs

  6. Hello, thanks for BFS !
    Since quiete a long time I use what archlinux call linux-ck with great pleasure.
    But since 4.6.3-1-ck (4.6.3-1-ARCH does suspend and resume well) I can't suspend to ram and resume anymore (I have also tested 4.6.4-1-ck which don't work in that aspect and 4.6.4-1-ARCH which "works").
    I am not absolutely certain the problem is with BFS and I don't know what to provide as info to help find and solve this problem.
    I have an I7 3770k Ivybridge with the included intel gfx, no other gfx cards).
    Thanks again !

    1. Sounds like mainline made a change to the suspend mechanism (yet again) which breaks BFS; presumably a back-port from the next pre-release patch. Not the first time it's happened. I don't usually have time to go fixing minor point releases.

  7. 4.6.2-ck doesn't work on suspend either. pretty sure whole 4.6 series does not with bfs. Also intel here, haswell, macbook pro laptop.
