Yes, that's a problem I've been pointing out for years. TuxOnIce
freezes the filesystems, but the kernel hibernation maintainers have
steadfastly refuses to even acknowledge that it is necessary.

As it is, I'm pretty sure this is being caused by the XFS workqueues
not being frozen appropriately i.e. WQ_FREEZEABLE needs to be added
to various workqueue definitions so that work gets halted when
kernel threads get halted.

Cheers,

Dave.
