[PATCH 1/1] hibernate: restrict writes to the snapshot device

[Domenico Andreoli <domenico.andreoli@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Domenico Andreoli <domenico.andreoli@xxxxxxxxx>

Hibernation via snapshot device requires write permission to the swap
block device, the one that more often (but not necessarily) is used to
store the hibernation image.

With this patch, such permissions are granted iff:

1) snapshot device config option is enabled
2) swap partition is used as snapshot device

In other circumstance the swap device is not writable from userspace.

In order to achieve this, every write attempt to a swap device is
checked against the device configured as part of the uswsusp API [0]
using a pointer to the inode struct in memory. If the swap device being
written was not configured for snapshotting, the write request is denied.

NOTE: this implementation works only for swap block devices, where the
inode configured by swapon (which sets S_SWAPFILE) is the same used
by SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA.

In case of swapfile, SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA indeed receives the inode
of the block device containing the filesystem where the swap files is
located (+ offset in it) which is never passed to swapon and then has
not the S_SWAPFILE set.

As result, the swapfile itself (as a file) has never an option to be
written from userspace. Instead it remains writable if accessed directly
from the containing block device, which is always writeable from root.
