I wrote a much lighter weight version of this and tested it on 6.14 (or
actually 6.14-rc6 since my laptop takes ages to do a full kernel
compile), which is where I found the sb_write_started() deadlock Jan
predicted.  But with that fixed, at least hibernate works for me using
an ext4 based image, so if you use 6.14 as your base, it should work
for you.
