 Yes, there are.

+First of all, grabbing the 'system_transition_mutex' lock to mutually exclude a piece of code
 from system-wide sleep such as suspend/hibernation is not encouraged.
 If possible, that piece of code must instead hook onto the suspend/hibernation
 notifiers to achieve mutual exclusion. Look at the CPU-Hotplug code
 (kernel/cpu.c) for an example.

+successfully acquired the 'system_transition_mutex' lock, and hence that other entity failed
 to acquire the lock, then that task would get blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
 state. As a consequence, the freezer would not be able to freeze that task,
 leading to freezing failure.
 
 However, the [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs are safe to use in this scenario,
 since they ask the freezer to skip freezing this task, since it is anyway
-"frozen enough" as it is blocked on 'pm_mutex', which will be released
+"frozen enough" as it is blocked on 'system_transition_mutex', which will be released
 only after the entire suspend/hibernation sequence is complete.
 So, to summarize, use [un]lock_system_sleep() instead of directly using
-mutex_[un]lock(&pm_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures.
