The patch titled
     Subject: mm/swap, PM: hibernate: atomically replace hibernation pin
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-swap-pm-hibernate-atomically-replace-hibernation-pin.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-swap-pm-hibernate-atomically-replace-hibernation-pin.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: mm/swap, PM: hibernate: atomically replace hibernation pin
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:56:51 +0100

snapshot_set_swap_area() unpins the previously selected swap device and
pins the new one in two separate swap_lock critical sections.  In the gap
between them, swapoff() observes SWP_HIBERNATION cleared, bypasses the
guard, and tears down the device, reopening the race the SWP_HIBERNATION
pin was meant to close.  The window is reachable on any
SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA call after the snapshot device is opened for
hibernation, and on any retry after the resume path's first selection.

Add repin_hibernation_swap_type(), which looks up the new device, clears
the old SWP_HIBERNATION flag and sets the new one under a single swap_lock
acquisition.  The same-device case is short- circuited so userspace can
re-select the same swap area without tripping WARN_ON_ONCE and -EBUSY. 
Switch snapshot_set_swap_area() to the new helper.

A failed lookup now preserves the previous pin instead of dropping it, so
a bad SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA leaves the prior selection intact.  The open
and release paths keep using pin_hibernation_swap_type() and
unpin_hibernation_swap_type().

The race was identified during AI-assisted review of the SWP_HIBERNATION
pinning series.
