Subject: [PATCH 1/1] PM/Hibernate: fix "swap breaks after hibernation failures"
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 23:18:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901272319.00102.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200901272317.43512.rjw@sisk.pl>

The image writing code dropped a reference to the current swap device.
This doesn't show up if the hibernation succeeds - because it doesn't
affect the image which gets resumed. But it means multiple _failed_
hibernations end up freeing the swap device while it is still use!
swsusp_write() finds the block device for the swap file using swap_type_of().
It then uses blkdev_get() / blkdev_put() to open and close the block device.
Unfortunately, blkdev_get() assumes ownership of the inode of the block_device
passed to it. So blkdev_put() calls iput() on the inode. This is by design
and other callers expect this behaviour. The fix is for swap_type_of() to take
a reference on the inode using bdget().
