Just did the following: Rebased Rafaels patch to 2.6.35 and tried it
again (with added prints to make sure I am running the right one) and
did >10 suspend to ram / resume cycles under I/O write load. All of
them worked fine (for comparison: your patch resulted in RO HDD at
first attempt).

(I had some extra prints around the suspend functions changed in
 Rafael's patch, tried with and without, no change--works flawlessly.)

What do you make of this?

Thanks,
