Both Pavel Machek and I posted test patches to address this...
basically, because of the design of swsusp, you must copy-n-paste the
following code into every single kernel thread:
if (current->flags & PF_FREEZE)
refrigerator(PF_IOTHREAD);
But I consider suspend untested at best... for reboot and suspend the
driver should issue flush-cache and other things beyond simply freezing
the kernel thread. Further, suspending will suck if the kernel thread
itself is the one doing I/O on behalf of the driver. This occurs if the
transfer mode is PIO rather than DMA.
