Hello,

I've found something interesting and what it seems to be the cause of
my problem.

As soon as I boot my system I can see this process being in the D-state:

[root@myhost ~]# ps aux | grep " D"
root 269 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? D 14:11 0:00 [rtsx_usb_ms_2]
root 1424 0.0 0.0 10788 2172 pts/2 S+ 14:19 0:00 grep D
[root@myhost ~]#

I'm not exactly sure why that is, but if I do a 'rmmod rtsx_usb_ms'
the problem is gone. I already tried suspending/resuming ~40 times
after I disabled the module and the suspend/resume problem is gone.
