From 232b14328050a4639130b0dec185f43968e72035 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 03:04:44 -0700 Subject: freezer: do not sync filesystems from freeze_processes The syncing of filesystems from within the freezer is generally not needed. Also, if there's an ext3 filesystem loopback-mounted from a FUSE one, the syncing results in writes to it and deadlocks. Similarly, it will deadlock if FUSE implements sync. Change freeze_processes() so that it doesn't execute sys_sync() and make the suspend and hibernation code path sync filesystems independently of the freezer. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
