From a60bed296ac67b9e2765646dec8e36e3b4d7c395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:07:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] cgroup_freezer: document freezer_fork() subtleties cgroup_subsys->fork() callback is special in that it's called outside the usual cgroup locking and may race with on-going migration. freezer_fork() currently doesn't consider such race condition; however, it is still correct thanks to the fact that freeze_task() may be called spuriously. This is quite subtle. Let's explain what's going on and add test to detect racing and losing to task migration and skip freeze_task() in such cases for documentation. This doesn't make any behavior difference meaningful to userland. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Li Zefan Cc: "Rafael J. Wysocki" --- Reading git-format-patch failed
