That's true. That was one of the reason I've always wanted the pre-suspend and post-resume hooks. (I prefer keeping the ordering there too, rather than a notifier, but a notifier is fine I suppose). Among the clients we want here the firmware stuff, the allocators, etc... to get themselves in conditions that won't deadlock during suspend cycle. I think that's a much bigger issue overall than freezer vs. no freezer :-) Ben. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
