hibernation bug - swap goes AWOL

[Alan Jenkins]

This is on 2.6.27-rc9.  I can easily test patches, or a more recent
kernel version.

I think I've run across a bug in hibernation.  Steps to reproduce:

1) Conspire to ensure insufficient swap space for hibernation
2) Attempt to hibernate, and fail
3) Attempt to hibernate *again*, and fail
4) try swapoff

Outcome:

# swapoff /dev/sda6
swapoff: /dev/sda6: Invalid argument
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used   
Priority
/dev/sda6                               partition       1494004 1350564 -1

Incidentally "swapoff -a" fails silently, which I think is a bug in
swapoff (i.e. it should report the error).

I don't see any backtraces in dmesg; the only errors it shows is the
failure to hibernate

If I free up some memory and try to hibernate again, I get a different
error - "Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a.".  Now swapon -a
doesn't work, but if I target the specific device...

# swapon /dev/sda6
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used   
Priority
/dev/sda6                               partition       1494004 331060  -1
/dev/sda6                               partition       1494004 0       -2

Wheee!  Interestingly I can now hibernate and resume.  But it's not
safe; my desktop session dies horribly.

Thanks
Alan
