    [PATCH] md: do not freeze md threads for suspend · 4b438a23
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    If there's a swap file on a software RAID, it should be possible to use this
    file for saving the swsusp's suspend image.  Also, this file should be
    available to the memory management subsystem when memory is being freed before
    the suspend image is created.
    
    For the above reasons it seems that md_threads should not be frozen during the
    suspend and the appended patch makes this happen, but then there is the
    question if they don't cause any data to be written to disks after the suspend
    image has been created, provided that all filesystems are frozen at that time.
