    sched/wait: Use freezable_schedule() when possible · 2b9c2a48
    Hugo Lefeuvre 提交于
    Replace 'schedule(); try_to_freeze();' with a call to freezable_schedule().
    
    Tasks calling freezable_schedule() set the PF_FREEZER_SKIP flag
    before calling schedule(). Unlike tasks calling schedule();
    try_to_freeze() tasks calling freezable_schedule() are not awaken by
    try_to_freeze_tasks(). Instead they call try_to_freeze() when they
    wake up if the freeze is still underway.
    
    It is not a problem since sleeping tasks can't do anything which isn't
    allowed for a frozen task while sleeping.
    
    The result is a potential performance gain during freeze, since less
    tasks have to be awaken.
    
    For instance on a bare Debian vm running a 4.19 stable kernel, the
    number of tasks skipped in freeze_task() went up from 12 without the
    patch to 32 with the patch (out of 448), an increase of > x2.5.
