Can you hibernate to a swap *file*?  I thought it had to be a partition.

It has to be a partition. A file can be on any kind of filesystem, so
how would the resume function know what to do?

 From systemd-hibernate-resume(8):

systemd-hibernate-resume@.service initiates the resume from hibernation. It is 
instantiated with the device to resume from as the template argument.

systemd-hibernate-resume only supports the in-kernel hibernation 
implementation, known as swsusp[1]. Internally, it works by writing the 
major:minor of specified device node to /sys/power/resume.

That's why I'm confused about the original question. He made a swap file for hibernating and it's not working because of an selinux issue. But even if that is resolved, it's still not going to work.
