Yes, we do.
Below it goes again with the missing comment in user.c and a changelog.
Please let me know if there's anything wrong with it, otherwise I'm going to push it to Linus in a couple of days.
Thanks, Rafael
--- From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Subject: PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueues
Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056
PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory
introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests. However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE, which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw that worqueues had been already frozen.
Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4 attempted to avoid into that particular code path. For this reason, to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.
Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the problem.
