I've tested it as best as I could. Works for me (TM). I need to catch some actual sleep now... --- Now all the pieces are in place to actually allow the power subsystem to freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/resume. Filesystems are only frozen and thawed if the power subsystem does actually own the freeze. Othwerwise it risks thawing filesystems it didn't own. This could be done differently be e.g., keeping the filesystems that were actually frozen on a list and then unfreezing them from that list. This is disgustingly unclean though and reeks of an ugly hack. If the filesystem is already frozen by the time we've frozen all userspace processes we don't care to freeze it again. That's userspace's job once the process resumes. We only actually freeze filesystems if we absolutely have to and we ignore other failures to freeze. We could bubble up errors and fail suspend/resume if the error isn't EBUSY (aka it's already frozen) but I don't think that this is worth it. Filesystem freezing during suspend/resume is best-effort. If the user has 500 ext4 filesystems mounted and 4 fail to freeze for whatever reason then we simply skip them. What we have now is already a big improvement and let's see how we fare with it before making our lives even harder (and uglier) than we have to.
