@@ -721,6 +724,9 @@  int hibernate(void)
   atomic_inc(&snapshot_device_available);
     Unlock:
        unlock_system_sleep();
        +       if (snapshot_test)
        +          software_resume();
        +
                return error;
                 }

Aha, I see, immediate wakeup here. Makes sense. ... ...

No.

AFAICT, freezer is used in hibernation_snapshot, which means at
Unlock:, kernel threads are running; software_resume() freezes them
again, but they had chance to run and potentially corrupt the
persistent storage... right?

                                                                        Pavel
