hibernate: Allow uswsusp to write to swap
[ Upstream commit 56939e014a6c212b317414faa307029e2e80c3b9 ] It turns out that there is one use case for programs being able to write to swap devices, and that is the userspace hibernation code. Quick fix: disable the S_SWAPFILE check if hibernation is configured. Fixes: dc617f29dbe5 ("vfs: don't allow writes to swap files") Reported-by: Domenico Andreoli <domenico.andreoli@linux.com> Reported-by: Marian Klein <mkleinsoft@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Domenico Andreoli <domenico.andreoli@linux.com> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
