The patch does not work as intended on my system, unfortunately.

I tried the mainline kernel v4.11-rc3 and added this patch. With 
"nokaslr" in the kernel command line, the system fails to hibernate. It 
complains this way in the log:


<...>
kernel: PM: writing image.
kernel: PM: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a.
kernel: PM: Cannot get swap writer
kernel: PM: Basic memory bitmaps freed
kernel: Restarting tasks ... done.

systemd[14825]: Time has been changed
systemd[1]: systemd-hibernate.service: main process exited, code=exited, 
status=1/FAILURE

systemd[1]: Failed to start Hibernate.
<...>

The swap device (swap file, actually) is available, however:
-
# swapon -s
Filename  Type  SizeUsed  Priority
/swap file  6297596 0 -1
-

I built the same kernel without this patch then, added "nokaslr" in the 
kernel command line again, and the system hibernates and resumes fine.

The patch does not work as intended on my system, unfortunately.

I tried the mainline kernel v4.11-rc3 and added this patch. With "nokaslr"
in the kernel command line, the system fails to hibernate. It complains this
way in the log:

<...>
kernel: PM: writing image.
kernel: PM: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a.
kernel: PM: Cannot get swap writer

<...>

-
# swapon -s
Filename  Type  SizeUsed  Priority
/swap file  6297596 0 -1
-

kernel command line again, and the system hibernates and resumes fine.


With the patch applied and "nokaslr" in the kernel command line, what
shows up when you do

$ cat /sys/power/state

?


freeze standby mem disk

However, I think now that the patch itself is OK.

I experimented with the patched kernel a bit more and found that 
hibernate does work when I place "nokaslr" before "resume=xxx 
resume_offset=xxx" in the kernel command line and does not work when I 
place "nokaslr" after these options. So I guess there is an issue with 
parsing of the kernel command line somewhere (dracut scripts? systemd? I 
do not know). If resume= or resume_offset= were corrupted, that might 
have been the reason why the system could not find the swap file when 
hibernating.


Anyway, that issue is clearly unrelated to this patch and the patch 
itself works OK for me.


Thanks a lot!
