For reading I do.
Hmm. I would have expected it to be the other way round, since I guess you need to do the reading synchronously - or do you read the image, then decompress it? (I'm reading and decompressing at the same time, using readahead to avoid waiting for pages all the time).
I haven't had the chance to revisit uswsusp yet - I did sysfs support on Monday (took ages to figure it out!). Ah... so many things to do, and so little time to do them all!
