Subject: [PATCH v7 0/2] mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race and optimize swap
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 19:33:07 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321103309.439265-1-youngjun.park@lge.com> (raw)

Apologies for the frequent revisions. Hopefully this version is close to final.

Currently, in the uswsusp path, only the swap type value is retrieved at
lookup time without holding a reference. If swapoff races after the type
is acquired, subsequent slot allocations operate on a stale swap device.

Additionally, grabbing and releasing the swap device reference on every
slot allocation is inefficient across the entire hibernation swap path.

This patch series addresses these issues:
- Patch 1: Fixes the swapoff race in uswsusp by pinning the swap device
  from the point it is looked up until the session completes.
- Patch 2: Removes the overhead of per-slot reference counting in alloc/free
  paths and cleans up the redundant SWP_WRITEOK check.

This series is based on v7.0-rc4(Refael's request for PM's modification)
. Happy to rebase onto mm-new if needed.

Testing:
- Hibernate/resume via sysfs
  (echo reboot > /sys/power/disk && echo disk > /sys/power/state)
- Hibernate with suspend via sysfs
  (echo suspend > /sys/power/disk && echo disk > /sys/power/state)
- Hibernate/resume via uswsusp (suspend-utils s2disk/resume on QEMU)
  - Verified swap I/O works correctly after resume.
  - Verified swapoff succeeds after snapshot resume completes.
- swapoff during active uswsusp session:
  - Verified swapoff returns -EBUSY while swap device is pinned (Patch 1).
  - Verified swapoff succeeds after uswsusp process terminates.

Changelog:
v6 -> v7:
 - Dropped Patch 3 (pm_restore_gfp_mask fix) from series as it has
   no dependency on Patches 1-2. Will be sent separately.
   (Rafael J. Wysocki feedback)
 - Andrew Morton's AI review findings applied only to Patch 3;
   Patches 1-2 are unchanged. (no problem on AI's review)

v5 -> v6:
 - Replaced get/put reference approach with SWP_HIBERNATION
   pinning to prevent swapoff, per Kairui's feedback.  Renamed helpers
   from get/find/put_hibernation_swap_type() to
   pin/find/unpin_hibernation_swap_type().
 - Renamed swap_type_of() to __find_hibernation_swap_type() since
   it is now an internal helper with no external callers.
   (Kairui's feedback)
 - Removed swapoff waiting on hibernation reference.
   swapoff now returns -EBUSY immediately when the swap device is
   pinned.
 - Updated function comments per Kairui's review.
 - Updated commit message.

v4 -> v5:
 - Rebased onto v7.0-rc4 (Rafael J. Wysocki comment)
 - No functional changes. rebase conflict fix.

rfc v3 -> v4:
 - Introduced get/find/put_hibernation_swap_type() helpers per Kairui's
   feedback. find_ for lookup-only, get/put for reference management.
 - Switched to swap_type_to_info() and added type < 0 check per
   Kairui's suggestion.
 - Fixed get_hibernation_swap_type() return when ref == false (Reviewed by Kairui)
 - Made swapoff wait interruptible to prevent hang when uswsusp
   holds a swap reference.
 - Rebased onto latest mm-new tree.

rfc v2 -> rfc v3:
 - Split into 2 patches per Chris Li's feedback.
 - Simplified by not holding reference in normal hibernation path
   per Chris Li's suggestion.
 - Removed redundant SWP_WRITEOK check.
 - Rebased onto f543926f9d0c3f6dfb354adfe7fbaeedd1277c6b.

rfc v1 -> rfc v2:
 - Squashed into single patch per Usama Arif's feedback.
