[merged mm-stable] mm-swap-pm-hibernate-atomically-replace-hibernation-pin.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/swap, PM: hibernate: atomically replace hibernation pin
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-swap-pm-hibernate-atomically-replace-hibernation-pin.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

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.
