Re: [PATCH v4 4/7] cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer

To be honest, I fail to understand this patch. At least after a quick glance,
I will try to read it again tomorrow but so far I do not even understand the
desired semantics wrt signals/ptrace.

Oh, this is not nice. And doesn't look right.

The comment above says TASK_KILLABLE, very confusing.

Probably this pairs with the change in signal_pending_state() above. So this
schedule() should actually "work" in that it won't return if signal_pending().

But this can't protect from another signal_wake_up(). Yes, iiuc in this case
cgroup_enter_frozen() will be called again "soon" but this all looks strange.

And why this can't race with cgroup_enter_frozen() ?

Or think of PTRACE_INTERRUPT. It can race with cgroup_enter_frozen() too, the
tracee can miss this request because of that change in signal_pending_state().

Cosmetic nit, but can't you add another helper? To me something like

		if (JOBCTL_TRAP_MASK)
			do_jobctl_trap();
		else if (JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE)
			do_jobctl_freeze();

will look more clean, but I won't insist.

looks like this needs another "goto relock", no?

And perhaps this another reason for the new do_jobctl_freeze() helper which
could absorb this leave_frozen() ?
