It is unsafe to allow saving of secretmem areas to the hibernation
snapshot as they would be visible after the resume and this essentially
will defeat the purpose of secret memory mappings.
Prevent hibernation whenever there are active secret memory users.
Does this feature need any special handling? As it is effectivelly
unevictable memory then it should behave the same as other mlock, ramfs
which should already disable hibernation as those cannot be swapped out,
no?
Why should unevictable memory not go to swap when hibernating? We're merely
dumping all of our system RAM (including any unmovable allocations) to swap
storage and the system is essentially completely halted.
My understanding is that mlock is never really made visible via swap
storage.
