Ok, I will need to quote a part of the userspace utility to explain the
problem.

In suspend.c inside the suspend-utils userspace package, I see a loop such
as:

error = freeze(snapshot_fd);
...
attempts = 2;
do {
if (set_image_size(snapshot_fd, image_size)) {
error = errno;
break;
}
if (atomic_snapshot(snapshot_fd, &in_suspend)) {
error = errno;
break;
}
if (!in_suspend) {
/* first unblank the console, see console_codes(4) */
printf("\e[13]");
printf("%s: returned to userspace\n", my_name);
free_snapshot(snapshot_fd);
break;
}

error = write_image(snapshot_fd, resume_fd, -1);
if (error) {
free_swap_pages(snapshot_fd);
free_snapshot(snapshot_fd);
image_size = 0;
error = -error;
if (error != ENOSPC)
break;
} else {
splash.progress(100);
#ifdef CONFIG_BOTH
if (s2ram_kms || s2ram) {
/* If we die (and allow system to continue)
* between now and reset_signature(), very bad
* things will happen. */
error = suspend_to_ram(snapshot_fd);
if (error)
goto Shutdown;
reset_signature(resume_fd);
free_swap_pages(snapshot_fd);
free_snapshot(snapshot_fd);
if (!s2ram_kms)
s2ram_resume();
goto Unfreeze;
}
Shutdown:
#endif
close(resume_fd);
suspend_shutdown(snapshot_fd);
}
} while (--attempts);

...
Unfreeze:
unfreeze(snapshot_fd);


Let me reply to this thread so that I can comment on the above code.
