mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in uswsusp by pinning swap device
Patch series "mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in uswsusp by pinning swap device", v8. 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 patch (of 2): 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.
