[PATCH] xen/balloon: fix balloon kthread freezing

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Mon Sep 20 2021 - 06:03:51 EST


Commit 8480ed9c2bbd56 ("xen/balloon: use a kernel thread instead a
workqueue") switched the Xen balloon driver to use a kernel thread.
Unfortunately the patch omitted to call try_to_freeze() or to use
wait_event_freezable_timeout(), causing a system suspend to fail.

Fixes: 8480ed9c2bbd56 ("xen/balloon: use a kernel thread instead a workqueue")
