because it seems so logical.  :)

but as I was saying on IRC, I think in theory it's not necessary; the fs state
on disk + fs state in memory (saved to disk during hibernate) needs to be
consistent, and it's conceivable that this could be done without freeze
(or even sync for that matter).

A freeze sure sounds nice though, to be sure the fs really is consistent
on disk, in case resume fails.

The thing I was wondering about is what makes sure disk caches are flushed
before disks lose power when hibernate completes.  (I'm just handwaving
here, though...)

Anyway, Dave's mention of making threads freezable makes the most sense.
Documentation/power/freezing-of-tasks.txt
makes it pretty clear that any thread which might change fs state
needs to be freezable:

jbd/jbd2 explicitly handle this freezing in the kjournald/kjournald2 threads.
