The freezer detection is broken. The thread is sleeping in schedule until a wakeup occurs some time in the future, which means it cannot "enter then freezer" because it's not a running thread. This is a problem introduced by commit 24ba16b ("xfs: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xfsaild kthread"). Jiri, I'm tempted just to revert this change - if the freezer doesn't detect processes that are not in TASK_RUNNABLE state as frozeni or can't mark them as frozen, then this change will never work reliably for XFS....
