[PATCH pm] freezer: fix wait_event_freezable/__thaw_task races

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Oct 31 2011 - 22:15:18 EST


From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

wait_event_freezable() and friends stop the waiting if try_to_freeze()
fails. This is not right, we can race with __thaw_task() and in this
case

- wait_event_freezable() returns the wrong ERESTARTSYS

- wait_event_freezable_timeout() can return the positive
value while condition == F

Change the code to always check __retval/condition before return.

Note: with or without this patch the timeout logic looks strange,
probably we should recalc timeout if try_to_freeze() returns T.

tj: Updated to apply to wait_event_freezekillable() too.

So, this should be the last of lost patches. It's on top of

linus/master
+[1] freezer: fix various bugs and simplify implementation, take#2
+[2] usb_storage: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()" + [3]
+[3] freezer: kill unused set_freezable_with_signal()

and available in the following git branch.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git pm-fix-wait_freezable

Thank you.
