Hello,

It's a bit beside the point as that's what journaling is for. Power
loss during suspend isn't all that different from power loss while
suspended. Also, the filesystems are already synced before entering
suspend, so it shouldn't be an issue. However, that doesn't guarantee
there aren't no pending bdi work items. We *hope* to control the
sources with freezer but there's no guarantee about the coverage and
no way to verify that either.
Thanks.
