Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] hibernate: split snapshot dev option
Date: Fri, 01 May 2020 17:14:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200501152304.609906298@gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: hibernate-split-snapshot-dev-option --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2020 bytes --]

From: Domenico Andreoli <domenico.andreoli@linux.com>

Make it possible to reduce the attack surface in case the snapshot
device is not to be used from userspace.

v2:
 - the option is enabled by default (it was disabled by default)
 - remove the premature "DEPRECATED" marking
 - drop the redefinition of mutual exclusion helpers (in v2 they are
   owned by hibernte.c) in case the option is deselected
 - add the help message to the config option
