Hi,

On Linux 5.12-rc1, I am unable to suspend to RAM. The system freezes for
about 40 seconds and then continues operation. The following messages
are printed to the kernel log:

and then a set of similar messages except with s2idle instead of deep.

Reverting 5695e51619 ("Merge tag 'io_uring-worker.v3-2021-02-25' of
git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block") appears to resolve the issue. I have
not yet bisected further. Let me know which troubleshooting steps I
should perform next.

Thanks,
Alex.
