Hmm.  Wouldn't it be better to do:

	if (isdigit(resume_file[0]) && resume_wait) {
		int partno;
		while (!get_gendisk(swsusp_resume_device, &partno))
			msleep(10);
	} else {
		swsusp_resume_device = name_to_dev_t(resume_file);
	}

?

Your new code will overwrite whatever swsusp_resume_device is set to by the
preceding statement anyway.
