From: Aleksei Besogonov <cybe...@amazon.com> The SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA is supposed to be used to set the hibernation offset on a running kernel to enable hibernating to a swap file. However, it doesn't actually update the swsusp_resume_block variable. As a result, the hibernation fails at the last step (after all the data is written out) in the validation of the swap signature in mark_swapfiles().
Before this patch, the command line processing was the only place where swsusp_resume_block was set.
