            Bug ID: 90339
           Summary: logind should try to avoid suspend races
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

We do it to avoid a race condition where a wakeup event occurs after
userspace has started the suspend process but before anything writes
"mem" to /sys/power/state.  I'm guessing that this is something logind
should be doing as well since the chances of missing a wakeup event
increase the longer any given delay inhibitor takes to delay a
suspend.
