I'm sorry I couldn't catch following... what happens at hibernation ?
frontswap is effectively stopped/skipped automatically ? or contents of
TMEM can be kept after power off and it can be read correctly when
resume thread reads swap ?

In short: no influence to hibernation ?
I'm sorry if I misunderstand some.
