Actually, if you look at the 2.6.19 code, the call to swap_type_of() is there
in swsusp_swap_check() too.

The problem is with open_by_devnum(), I think, which obviously cannot succeed
if swsusp_resume_device is not set.  I think we should return resume_bdev from
swsusp_swap_check() like in the appended patch (untested).  Pavel?

Yes, me too.

Thanks for the report.
