Well my issue isn´t related to wireless networking as my laptop at home is 
using good old cable based ethernet. I do use Plasma tough. The issue of the 
original poster appears to be blk-mq related.

As written, I have no idea whether my issue is related to blk-mq in any way. 
Thats the next step I´d test. If the current kernel runs stable… then I´d 
enable blk-mq by default again and test whether the hangs reappear. Unless I 
can pinpoint the issue to blk-mq… I have nothing further to comment here, I 
think. (And I didn´t intend to use the thread for every hang on resume issue 
that currently may exist. I just don´t know yet whether my issue is related to 
blk-mq so I chimed in.)

Thanks,
