[PATCH v2 0/4] PM: hibernate: encrypted snapshots under lockdown

From: Sean Rhodes

Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 06:44:32 EST


v1 was sent as an RFC. This version keeps TPM policy and seed unsealing in
early userspace, while the kernel encrypts and authenticates the uswsusp image
from a locked seed.

The stack adds the snapshot_seed ABI, permits the snapshot device under
lockdown only once encryption is enabled, documents the userspace flow, and
restricts lockdown-time block writes to the active encrypted snapshot
image/header path.

Changes in v2:
- Keep raw writes to active swap blocked under lockdown.
- Track encrypted snapshot bytes and header writes before allowing
lockdown-time image writes.
- Only split the encrypted stream at the metadata boundary when a user key
switch is used.
- Return -EFAULT for userspace copy failures.
- Document resume meta_size handling.

Tested on StarFighter MTL with a TPM-sealed seed: encrypted uswsusp
suspend/resume completed and restored the image. Also tested with lockdown
enabled through the encrypted snapshot device path.
