Title:
Unexpected memory allocation failure in hibernation snapshot (swsusp)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In kernel 4.4.0-97, the system snapshot can fail during suspend-to-
disk or -to-both even though the routine swsusp_save() believes that
there is enough memory for the snapshot.
What I expected to happen
=========================
After 'systemctl hibernate' or 'systemctl hybrid-sleep', the requested
suspend state is reached, or a diagnostic is provided.
What happened instead
=====================
After 'systemctl hibernate' or 'systemctl hybrid-sleep', system
returns to normal desktop with no visible diagnostic after 'systemctl
hibernate' or 'systemctl hybrid sleep'.
System log/journal shows diagnostics and backtrace, as attached:
...

...
And the concluding entries after the memory debugging output:
Oct 17 10:51:45 Spiridion kernel: PM: Memory allocation failed
Oct 17 10:51:45 Spiridion kernel: PM: Error -12 creating hibernation image
At this point the swsusp_save() function has successfully checked for
free memory
enough_free_mem(nr_pages, nr_highmem)
and then called
swsusp_alloc(&orig_bm, ©_bm, nr_pages, nr_highmem)
So either enough_free_mem() is not sufficiently accurate or
conservative, or swsusp_alloc() is not sufficiently aggressive in
using the available memory.
This code seems to be the same at least down to the call to
alloc_image_page() in later versions, eg 4.13.7.
The functions 'systemctl hibernate', 'systemctl hybrid-sleep' have
been seen to work as expected in the identical configuration when the
system memory is more lightly loaded (eg "PM: Need to copy 103159
pages").
