[Bug 554009] Re: Resume from disk (swapfile) fails

[Chow Loong Jin]

About that false negative you pointed out, I think you are getting the
wrong idea. I never intended to remove the wait-for-root call. In my
proposed solution, the wait-for-root call stays, and *AFTER* that, it
unconditionally attempts a resume, without checking the output of wait-
for-root. Hence, the resume script will wait for the swap device, and
then attempt a resume no matter what wait-for-root says.

And about the SRU...
>From the looks of it, resume_offset was a feature of the past initramfs-tools. Dropping support for this, however accidental, is considered a regression. The risk of adding back the resume_offset check from the old code, and perhaps a TOI signature check can only result in a false positive, which is completely harmless, as the kernel would just step over it, as it had been doing in Karmic, Jaunty, and every earlier Ubuntu that had this resume script, where every normal boot was a false positive attempt at resuming.
