Problems with tuxonice and btrfs

Problems with tuxonice and btrfs

I get filesystem corruption when I unsuccessfully hibernate using
tuxonice. I don't get this problem using standard suspend.

While I understand TOI is not in mainline it requires no modification
for non-FUSE filesystems. where should I report the problem?

Best regards

Just a guess and general thought, I've never used TOI. There is probably
some activity inside the filesystem going on and is not properly
stopped, like in the standard suspend case. I'd start at TOI verifying
that it follows the steps during freezing and unfreezing the filesystem,
as does standard suspend.

This does not seem to be a genuine btrfs bug, rather some misinteraction
with TOI.
