[PATCH 10/17] freezer: test freezable conditions while holding freezer_lock

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Oct 31 2011 - 15:08:17 EST


try_to_freeze_tasks() and thaw_processes() use freezable() and
frozen() as preliminary tests before initiating operations on a task.
These are done without any synchronization and hinder with
synchronization cleanup without any real performance benefits.

In try_to_freeze_tasks(), open code self test and move PF_NOFREEZE and
frozen() tests inside freezer_lock in freeze_task().

thaw_processes() can simply drop freezable() test as frozen() test in
__thaw_task() is enough.

Note: This used to be a part of larger patch to fix set_freezable()
race. Separated out to satisfy ordering among dependent fixes.
