Looks good, one small comment below. _However_, I think we can do one more thing. Namely, if the header is not continuous, the kernel will leave the first continuous PAGE_SIZE "block" of the swap file untouched. So, why don't we copy the swap signature into that "block", to the place in which it would be if the the header was there, and return its offset as the offset of the header? Then, swsusp and s2disk should work normally as well as the swap. I don't think the program should do this automatically, but there may be a flag allowing the user to modify a swap file with non-continuous header so that it can be used for suspending. > #include <stdio.h> > #include <string.h> > #include <fcntl.h> > #include <unistd.h> > #include <sys/ioctl.h> > #include <sys/types.h> > #include <sys/stat.h> > #include <linux/fs.h> > #include <errno.h> > > #define SWAP_SIG "SWAPSPACE2" > > int main(int argc, char **argv) { > int block, last_block, first_block, blocks_per_page; > int size, blk_size; > int fd; > int i; > struct stat stat; > unsigned char buf[10]; > int err = 0; > int const page_size = getpagesize(); > > if (argc < 2) > return EINVAL; > > fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); > if (fd < 0) { > perror("open()"); > return ENOENT; > } > > /* Check swap signature */ > if (lseek(fd, page_size - 10, SEEK_SET) == (off_t)-1) { > err = errno; > perror("lseek()"); > goto out; > } > i = read(fd, buf, 10); > if (i == -1) { I'd use (i < 0) here. > err = errno; > perror("read()"); > goto out; > } else if (i < 10) { > fprintf(stderr, "Failed to read swap signature: file is too > short.\n"); > err = EINVAL; > goto out; > } > > if (memcmp(buf, SWAP_SIG, 10)) { > fprintf(stderr, "Swap signature not found.\n"); > err = EINVAL; > goto out; > } > > if (fstat(fd, &stat)) { > err = errno; > perror("fstat()"); > goto out; > } > if (ioctl(fd, FIGETBSZ, &blk_size)) { > err = errno; > perror("ioctl(FIGETBSZ) failed"); > goto out; > } > > blocks_per_page = page_size / blk_size; > > /* Check that the header is contiguous */ > last_block = 0; > first_block = 0; > size = 0; > for (i = 0; i < blocks_per_page; i++) { > block = i; > > if (ioctl(fd, FIBMAP, &block)) { > err = errno; > perror("ioctl(FIBMAP) failed"); > > goto out; > } > > if (last_block && block != last_block + 1) > break; > if (!first_block) > first_block = block; > > size += blk_size; > last_block = block; > } > if (size < page_size) { > fprintf(stderr, "Swapfile header is not contiguous and cannot > be used" > "for suspension.\n"); > err = EINVAL; > } else > printf("resume offset = %d\n", first_block * blk_size / > page_size); > > out: > close(fd); > > return err; > } > > > Luca -- You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
