SubjectRe: [PATCH 4.19 11/37] PM: hibernate: Freeze kernel threads in software_resume()
Hi!

I believe it is too soon to merge this into stable. It is rather big
hammer. Yes, it is right thing to do. But I'd wait for 5.7 to be
released before merging it to stable.

It needs some testing and it did not get any.

Best regards,
Pavel
