    freezer: close potential race between refrigerator and thaw_tasks · 33e1c288
    Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
    If the freezing of tasks fails and a task is preempted in refrigerator()
    before calling frozen_process(), then thaw_tasks() may run before this task is
    frozen.  In that case the task will freeze and no one will thaw it.
    
    To fix this race we can call freezing(current) in refrigerator() along with
    frozen_process(current) under the task_lock() which also should be taken in
    the error path of try_to_freeze_tasks() as well as in thaw_process().
    Moreover, if thaw_process() additionally clears TIF_FREEZE for tasks that are
    not frozen, we can be sure that all tasks are thawed and there are no pending
    "freeze" requests after thaw_tasks() has run.
