[PATCH v2] exec: make de_thread() freezable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Suspend fails due to the exec family of functions blocking the freezer.
The casue is that de_thread() sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiting for
all sub-threads to die, and we have the deadlock if one of them is frozen.
This also can occur with the schedule() waiting for the group thread leader
to exit if it is frozen.

In our machine, it causes freeze timeout as bellows.

Freezing of tasks failed after 20.010 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze, wq_busy=0):

To fix this, make de_thread() freezable. It looks safe and works fine.

Changes in v2:
 - changes for the same reason in "if (!thread_group_leader(tsk))" branch.
