Quite apart from the sync() matter, _any_ synchronous call to a FUSE filesystem during STR will cause trouble. Even if the user task implementing the filesystem isn't frozen, when it tries to carry out some I/O to a suspended device it will either: block until the system wakes up, or cause the suspend to abort. Neither outcome is desirable.
