Actual code is from suspend-utils tree, swsusp.h:

static inline int freeze(int dev)
{
        return ioctl(dev, SNAPSHOT_FREEZE, 0);
}

And from suspend_ioctls.h:
#define SNAPSHOT_IOC_MAGIC      '3'
#define SNAPSHOT_FREEZE                 _IO(SNAPSHOT_IOC_MAGIC, 1)

My mistake, should be '3' instead of 3.
