I'm not sure how to reproduce. I tried pm-hibernate with
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP, but nothing showed up in dmesg.
Here's a quick & dirty patch. Please test (or explain how I can test it
myself, whichever is easier :-). swap_unplug_sem is used to avoid
holding swap_lock when calling the block device unplug function. I
think it can also be used for this bdget call.
Thanks
Alan
