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.
