wait_event_freezable() and wait_event_freezable_timeout() stop the waiting if try_to_freeze() fails. This is not right, we can race with __thaw_task() and in this case - wait_event_freezable() returns the wrong ERESTARTSYS - wait_event_freezable_timeout() can return the positive value while condition == F Change the code to always check __retval/condition before return. Note: with or without this patch the timeout logic looks strange, probably we should recalc timeout if try_to_freeze() returns T.
