Just found Andrei Warkentin also submitted a RFC patch, which included more fix 
for mounted root file system media. Please ignore this thread.

> Subject: [RFC]mmc: fix dead lock issue when system entering S3
> 
> Hi all,
>    I encountered a dead lock issue. Two threads try to claim host, 
> unfortunately
>    one thread needs to sync with the other. I encountered this issue with SD
>    card when testing system entering S3. Does anybody encounter the same
> issue?
> 
> Environment:
> 1. without CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME operation
> 2. the SD card mounted
> 
> During system tried to enter S3, mmc_pm_notifier will be called first to 
> remove
> SD card. So calling sequence in SD remove thread is like this:
>       mmc_claim_host
>       bus_ops->remove
>       ....
>       ....
>       mmc_cleanup_queue
>       kthread_stop(mq->thread)
>       ...
>       ...
> 
> Mean while, mmc_cleanup_queue wakes up mq->thread, the calling sequence in
> mq->thread is
> like this:
>       mmc_queue_thread
>       mq->issue_fn (mmc_blk_issue_rq)
>       mmc_claim_host (dead lock)
>       ....
>       ....
> 
> Since mmc_claim_host is called in mq->thread (not SD remove thread) again,
> unfortunately right now host is already claimed by SD remove thread which is
> also waiting for mq->thread finished, so cause a dead lock here.
> 
> Move the mmc_claim_host(in mmc_pm_notifier) after bus_ops->remove can
> resolve
> this dead lock. mmc_suspend_host() is using the same way to claim host.
> 
> Need to know your suggestions.
