Subject: [PATCH 1/1] suspend: delete sys_sync()
From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>
Remove sys_sync() from the kernel's suspend flow.
sys_sync() is extremely expensive in some configurations,
and so the kernel should not force users to pay this cost
on every suspend.
The user-space utilities s2ram and s2disk choose to invoke sync() today.
A user can invoke suspend directly via /sys/power/state to skip that cost.
