From bf7ec5bb6114b2f086e536e24486fdacd1c0d339 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: OGAWA Hirofumi Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 13:49:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] flusher: Fix PF_FROZEN race To touch task->flags directly is racy. thaw_process() still has race (changing non_current->flags, but this is another issue) though, I think it's much better off. So, use thaw_process() instead.
