[PATCH 2/2] fs/select: mark select and poll tasks TASK_FREEZABLE

From: Sadrul Chowdhury

Date: Tue Sep 22 2026 - 17:24:59 EST


Similar to epoll_wait(), threads sleeping in do_select() and do_poll()
sleep in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE via poll_schedule_timeout(). During system
suspend and resume, these threads are woken up by the freezer solely to
transition to TASK_FROZEN, and woken again upon thaw only to re-evaluate
file descriptors with no pending activity and sleep again.

A previous attempt to make select() and poll() freezable in commit
9745cdb36da8 ("select: use freezable blocking call") was reverted in
commit 59612d187912 ("Revert "select: use freezable blocking call"")
alongside the epoll revert due to issues caused by the legacy freezer
architecture.

Following the freezer overhaul in commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched:
Rewrite core freezer logic"), tasks in TASK_FREEZABLE are safely frozen
in-place into TASK_FROZEN without running userspace code or experiencing
premature wakeups before resume completes.

Pass TASK_FREEZABLE to poll_schedule_timeout() in do_select() and
do_poll() (TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE | TASK_FREEZABLE) so that polling threads
remain asleep undisturbed across suspend/resume cycles.
