Dear Rafael Wysocki, Kosaki Motohiro and Minchan Kim,

Upon Kosaki Motohiro's kind request via an off-list e-mail,
I tested the following two patches separately with a vanilla
2.6.35.4 kernel:

Patch 1:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/5/86

Patch 2:
	http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/9/4/4615426

The first of these was prepared by Minchan Kim, and it fixes
the issue; i.e. no hangs during hibernation with a full tmpfs.

However, the second patch, prepared by Rafael Wysocki, does *not*
fix the problem. I still experience hangs with a full tmpfs upon
hibernation.

As always, I am willing to test newer patches and help in debugging
this issue.

I really appreciate all of your help,

M. Vefa Bicakci
