Right, the job scheduler uses the cgroup freezer as a mechanism to preempt a low priority job for a higher priority job. (It had used SIGSTOP in the past.) So in this scenario a frozen cgroup may remain in that state for a while.

I think Matt was referring to system-wide suspend/resume/hibernate, not a behavior of the job scheduler, if that's your concern. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
