[PATCH pm-freezer 2/4] freezer: set PF_NOFREEZE on a dying task right before TASK_DEAD setting bug in freezer_change_state()

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

 



3fb45733df "freezer: make exiting tasks properly unfreezable" removed
clear_freeze_flag() from exit path and set PF_NOFREEZE right after
PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT; however, Oleg pointed out that following exit paths
may cause interaction with device drivers after PM freezer consider
the system frozen.

There's no try_to_freeze() call in the exit path and the only
necessary guarantee is that freezer doesn't hang waiting for zombies.
Set PF_NOFREEZE right before setting tsk->state to TASK_DEAD instead.
