The patch titled Introduce freezer flags has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is introduce-freezer-flags-rev-2.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Introduce freezer flags From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> Move all of the freezer-related flags to a separate field in task_struct and introduce functions to operate them using set_bit() etc. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> Cc: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@xxxxxx> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt | 2 Documentation/power/swsusp.txt | 4 - arch/i386/kernel/apm.c | 2 drivers/block/loop.c | 2 drivers/char/apm-emulation.c | 6 +- drivers/ieee1394/ieee1394_core.c | 2 drivers/md/md.c | 2 drivers/mmc/card/queue.c | 3 - drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c | 3 - drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_scsi_host.c | 2 drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c | 2 drivers/usb/storage/usb.c | 2 include/asm-arm/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-blackfin/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-frv/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-i386/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-ia64/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-mips/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-powerpc/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-sh/thread_info.h | 2 include/asm-x86_64/thread_info.h | 2 include/linux/freezer.h | 63 ++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/sched.h | 8 +- kernel/fork.c | 5 + kernel/freezer.c | 10 +-- kernel/kthread.c | 3 - kernel/rcutorture.c | 4 - kernel/sched.c | 2 kernel/softirq.c | 2 kernel/softlockup.c | 2 kernel/workqueue.c | 2 31 files changed, 90 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) diff -puN Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt~introduce-freezer-flags-rev-2 Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt --- a/Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt~introduce-freezer-flags-rev-2 +++ a/Documentation/power/kernel_threads.txt @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ like this: */ daemonize("usb-storage"); - current->flags |= PF_NOFREEZE; + freezer_exempt(current); from drivers/usb/storage/usb.c::usb_stor_control_thread() diff -puN Documentation/power/swsusp.txt~introduce-freezer-flags-rev-2 Documentation/power/swsusp.txt --- a/Documentation/power/swsusp.txt~introduce-freezer-flags-rev-2 +++ a/Documentation/power/swsusp.txt @@ -152,8 +152,8 @@ add: try_to_freeze(); If the thread is needed for writing the image to storage, you should -instead set the PF_NOFREEZE process flag when creating the thread (and -be very careful). +instead use freezer_exempt() to mark the thread as nonfreezable when creating +it (and be very careful).
