From: Tim Van Patten <timvp@xxxxxxxxxx> __thaw_task() was recently updated to warn if the task being thawed was part of a freezer cgroup that is still currently freezing: void __thaw_task(struct task_struct *p) { ... if (WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p))) goto unlock; This has exposed a bug in cgroup1 freezing where when CGROUP_FROZEN is asserted, the CGROUP_FREEZING bits are not also cleared at the same time. Meaning, when a cgroup is marked FROZEN it continues to be marked FREEZING as well. This causes the WARNING to trigger, because cgroup_freezing() thinks the cgroup is still freezing. There are two ways to fix this: 1. Whenever FROZEN is set, clear FREEZING for the cgroup and all children cgroups. 2. Update cgroup_freezing() to also verify that FROZEN is not set. This patch implements option (2), since it's smaller and more straightforward.
