Note that the above seems to lack any useful information (as usual) such as what block driver is involved etc... We fixed IDE to be robust vs. pending IOs a while ago. It's possible that libata isn't as solid yet, I don't know. This needs to be done regardless of feezer vs. not freezer. There are thins in the kernel that can trigger BIOs at any time pretty much regardless of user space being frozen or not, again, it's a case of sticking our head in the sand and hoping the freezer hides all our design bugs.
