From: Sebastian Capella <sebastian.capella@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit f8d5b9e9e5372f0deb7bc1ab1088a9b60b0a793d upstream. During restore, pm_notifier chain are called with PM_RESTORE_PREPARE. The firmware_class driver handler fw_pm_notify does not have a handler for this. As a result, it keeps a reader on the kmod.c umhelper_sem. During freeze_processes, the call to __usermodehelper_disable tries to take a write lock on this semaphore and hangs waiting.
