[PATCH v6] lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time

From: Mandeep Singh Baines
Date: Thu Feb 21 2013 - 11:52:03 EST


We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held. Holding a lock
can cause a deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the
suspend or hibernate path (e.g. by dpm). Holding a lock can
also cause a deadlock in the case of cgroup_freezer if a
lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later acquired by
a process outside that group.

Changes since v1:
* LKML: <20130215111635.GA26955@xxxxxxxxx> Ingo Molnar
* Added a msg string that gets passed in.
* LKML: <20130215154449.GD30829@xxxxxxxxxx> Oleg Nesterov
* Check PF_NOFREEZE in try_to_freeze().
Changes since v2:
* LKML: <20130216170605.GC4910@xxxxxxxxxx> Oleg Nesterovw
* Avoid unnecessary PF_NOFREEZE check when !CONFIG_LOCKDEP.
* Mandeep Singh Baines
* Generalize an exit specific printk.
Changes since v3:
* LKML: <20130220223013.GA15760@xxxxxxxxxx> Oleg Nesterovw
* Remove stale vfork comment from commit message.
Changes since v4:
* LKML: <20130220152446.a65ff84f.akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Andrew Morton
* Remove tsk param since tsk is always current.
* Remove msg param, dump_stack() should tell us all we need to know.
Changes since v5:
* LKML: <3556388.kjl7k6r8W6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Rafael J. Wysocki
* Updated changelog explaining why we can't freeze with locks held.
