No, it runs /bin/resume which is installed by klibc-utils. (uswsusp installs its resume implementation as /sbin/resume. That's what the comment is about.) > 2) It doesn't properly detect offsets So far as I can see, the kernel has never really supported an offset being passed through /sys/power/resume. However: 1. The kernel parses the resume_offset parameter, and uses that for every resume request. 2. The implementation of /sys/power/resume is not very strict, and ignores the trailing ":offset". This second feature was briefly broken between Linux 4.1-rc1 and 4.1- rc3, but otherwise still seems to work. So I don't see what your change is fixing. However I do think that either: 1. The kernel should add real support for setting the resume offset after boot. 2. klibc should stop writing the unused offset parameter.
