Subject: [RESEND RFC PATCH v3 2/2] mm/swap: remove redundant swap device reference in alloc/free
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 20:25:11 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312112511.3596781-3-youngjun.park@lge.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312112511.3596781-1-youngjun.park@lge.com>
In the previous commit, uswsusp was modified to acquire the swap device
reference at the time of determining the swap type. As a result, it is
no longer necessary to repeatedly acquire and release the reference to
protect against swapoff every time a swap slot is allocated.
For hibernation via the sysfs interface, user-space processes are already
frozen, making swapoff inherently impossible. Thus, acquiring and
releasing the reference during allocation is unnecessary. Furthermore,
even after returning from suspend, processes are not yet thawed when
swap slots are freed, meaning reference management is not required at
that stage either.
Therefore, remove the redundant swap device reference acquire and release
operations from the hibernation swap allocation and free functions.
Additionally, remove the SWP_WRITEOK check before allocation. This check
is redundant because the cluster allocation logic already handles it.
