That's true. That was one of the reason I've always wanted the pre-suspend and post-resume hooks. (I prefer keeping the ordering there too, rather than a notifier, but a notifier is fine I suppose). Among the clients we want here the firmware stuff, the allocators, etc... to get themselves in conditions that won't deadlock during suspend cycle. I think that's a much bigger issue overall than freezer vs. no freezer :-) Ben. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
