Namely, as the first step of the hibernation procedure the function freeze_processes() (defined in kernel/power/process.c) is called.

If a freezable kernel thread fails to call try_to_freeze() after the freezer has set TIF_FREEZE for it, the freezing of tasks will fail and the entire hibernation operation will be cancelled.
