Hi,

it seems to me that this is caused by the mm subsytem maintaing
a share of clean pages precisely so that GFP_NOIO will work.
Perhaps it is a good idea to
a) launder a number of pages if the system is about to be suspended
between the freezer and notifying drivers
b) set the ration of clean pages to dirty pages to 0 while suspending
the system.

	Regards
