Is it possible to use wait_event_freezable()?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt
Will the wait_event_interruptible() be woken up when system freezes?

This doesn't prevent situation where the done-list is empty and the
"finish" thread freezes, in the same time the "start" thread issues new
capture and then freezes too.
1. "start" thread issues capture
2. "finish" thread wakes and waits for the capture to complete
3. "start" thread begins another capture, waits for FRAME_START
4. system freezing activates
5. "finish" thread completes the capture and freezes because done-list
is empty
6. "start" thread gets FRAME_START, issues another capture and freezes

Yes, only freezing in the middle of IO should be avoided.

I'll take another look tomorrow / during weekend and let you know.
