Ah, that's fascinating. But aren't CPUs all brought up online before devices
are resumed? If so, the max_active should already be way higher than the
WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE. Also, are these multi node NUMA machines? Otherwise, it
really shouldn't affect anything. One easy way to verify would be just
bumping up WQ_DFL_MIN_ACTIVE and see what happens.

Thanks.
