      PM / Freezer: Revert 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too"
      
      Commit 27920651 "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
      TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" updated fake_signal_wake_up() used by freezer
      to wake up KILLABLE tasks.  Sending unsolicited wakeups to tasks in
      killable sleep is dangerous as there are code paths which depend on
      tasks not waking up spuriously from KILLABLE sleep.
      
      For example. sys_read() or page can sleep in TASK_KILLABLE assuming
      that wait/down/whatever _killable can only fail if we can not return
      to the usermode.  TASK_TRACED is another obvious example.
      
      The previous patch updated wait_event_freezekillable() such that it
      doesn't depend on the spurious wakeup.  This patch reverts the
      offending commit.
      
      Note that the spurious KILLABLE wakeup had other implicit effects in
      KILLABLE sleeps in nfs and cifs and those will need further updates to
      regain freezekillable behavior.

      PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too · 27920651
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      TASK_KILLABLE is often used to put tasks to sleep for quite some time.
      One of the most common uses is to put tasks to sleep while waiting for
      replies from a server on a networked filesystem (such as CIFS or NFS).
      
      Unfortunately, fake_signal_wake_up does not currently wake up tasks
      that are sleeping in TASK_KILLABLE state. This means that even if the
      code were in place to allow them to freeze while in this sleep, it
      wouldn't work anyway.
      
      This patch changes this function to wake tasks in this state as well.
      This should be harmless -- if the code doing the sleeping doesn't have
      handling to deal with freezer events, it should just go back to sleep.
      If it does, then this will allow that code to do the right thing.

      Freezer: Fix a race during freezing of TASK_STOPPED tasks · 8cfe400c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      After calling freeze_task(), try_to_freeze_tasks() see whether the
      task is stopped or traced and if so, considers it to be frozen;
      however, nothing guarantees that either the task being frozen sees
      TIF_FREEZE or the freezer sees TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_RUNNING
      transition.  The task being frozen may wake up and not see TIF_FREEZE
      while the freezer fails to notice the transition and believes the task
      is still stopped.
      
      This patch fixes the race by making freeze_task() always go through
      fake_signal_wake_up() for applicable tasks.  The function goes through
      the target task's scheduler lock and thus guarantees that either the
      target sees TIF_FREEZE or try_to_freeze_task() sees TASK_RUNNING.

      sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks really · 6301cb95
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      commit e3c8ca83 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke
      the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task
      is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags &
      PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So
      while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
      is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement
      nr_uninterruptible on thaw.
      
      Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set
      it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and
      clear it after we return from frozen state.

      container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem · dc52ddc0
      Matt Helsley 提交于
      This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
      framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
      a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.
      
      The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
      freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
      in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
      the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.
      
      * Examples of usage :
      
         # mkdir /containers/freezer
         # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
         # mkdir /containers/0
         # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
      
      to get status of the freezer subsystem :
      
         # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
         RUNNING
      
      to freeze all tasks in the container :
      
         # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
         # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
         FREEZING
         # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
         FROZEN
      
      to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
      
         # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
         # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
         RUNNING
      
      This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
      task in a simple scenario.
      
      It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
      return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
      something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
      time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
      by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
      "FREEZING" until one of these things happens:
      
      	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
      		the freezer.state file
      	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
      		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
      		and returns EIO)
      	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
      		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.
