[PATCH -mm 3/5] Freezer: Prevent new tasks from inheriting TIF_FREEZE set

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Wed Jul 18 2007 - 03:33:06 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

Tasks should go to the refrigerator only if explicitly requested to do that by
the freezer and not as a result of inheriting the TIF_FREEZE flag set from the
parent. Make it happen.
