Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in uswsusp by pinning swap device
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 02:03:11 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320170313.163386-2-youngjun.park@lge.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320170313.163386-1-youngjun.park@lge.com>
Hibernation via uswsusp (/dev/snapshot ioctls) has a race window:
after selecting the resume swap area but before user space is frozen,
swapoff may run and invalidate the selected swap device.
Fix this by pinning the swap device with SWP_HIBERNATION while it is
in use. The pin is exclusive, which is sufficient since
hibernate_acquire() already prevents concurrent hibernation sessions.
The kernel swsusp path (sysfs-based hibernate/resume) uses
find_hibernation_swap_type() which is not affected by the pin. It
freezes user space before touching swap, so swapoff cannot race.
Introduce dedicated helpers:
- pin_hibernation_swap_type(): Look up and pin the swap device.
Used by the uswsusp path.
- find_hibernation_swap_type(): Lookup without pinning.
Used by the kernel swsusp path.
- unpin_hibernation_swap_type(): Clear the hibernation pin.
While a swap device is pinned, swapoff is prevented from proceeding.
