To give an example,

/*
* XXX: Open code SKIP clearing for now to avoid invoking
* try_to_freeze(). This isn't correct but this function is
* called from deep inside hibernation path and calling
* try_to_freeze() leads to hang during hibernation. This
* will be properly fixed soon. See commit message for
* more details.
