Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] mm/swap, PM: hibernate: fix swapoff race in uswsusp by getting swap reference
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 23:24:02 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319142404.3683019-2-youngjun.park@lge.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319142404.3683019-1-youngjun.park@lge.com>

Hibernation via uswsusp (/dev/snapshot ioctls) has a race: between
setting the resume swap area and allocating a swap slot, user-space is
not yet frozen, so swapoff can run and cause an incorrect slot allocation.

Fix this by keeping swap_type_of() as a static helper that requires
swap_lock to be held, and introducing new interfaces that wrap it with
proper locking and reference management:

- get_hibernation_swap_type(): Lookup under swap_lock + acquire a swap
  device reference to block swapoff (used by uswsusp).
- find_hibernation_swap_type(): Lookup under swap_lock only, no
  reference. Used by the sysfs path where user-space is already frozen,
  making swapoff impossible.
- put_hibernation_swap_type(): Release the reference.

Because the reference is held via get_swap_device(), swapoff will block
at wait_for_completion_interruptible() until put_hibernation_swap_type()
releases it. The wait is interruptible, so swapoff can be cancelled by
a signal.
