[PATCH 13/17] cgroup_freezer: prepare for removal of TIF_FREEZE

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Oct 31 2011 - 15:07:29 EST


TIF_FREEZE will be removed soon and freezing() will directly test
whether any freezing condition is in effect. Make the following
changes in preparation.

* Rename cgroup_freezing_or_frozen() to cgroup_freezing() and make it
return bool.

* Make cgroup_freezing() access task_freezer() under rcu read lock
instead of task_lock(). This makes the state dereferencing racy
against task moving to another cgroup; however, it was already racy
without this change as ->state dereference wasn't synchronized.
This will be later dealt with using attach hooks.

* freezer->state is now set before trying to push tasks into the
target state.

-v2: Oleg pointed out that freeze_change_state() was setting
freeze->state incorrectly to CGROUP_FROZEN instead of
CGROUP_FREEZING. Fixed.
