Notice how nicely this generalizes a point that's been made before: Linux should have the ability to exclude certain devices (and their parents) from that first "prepare to suspend" phase. Originally the canonical example was the swap device (and its disk, controller, bus tree, etc). Now we recognize consoles (and their parents, network controllers, etc) have the same issue ... Of course using such a mechanism would call for a bit of rework in swsusp and str code, as well as implementing that exclusion mechanism. - Dave
