Subject: [RFC PATCH] freezer: revert 27920651fe "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake TASK_KILLABLE tasks too"
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:17:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111031221743.GA18855@google.com> (raw)

Commit 27920651fe "PM / Freezer: Make fake_signal_wake_up() wake
TASK_KILLABLE tasks too" made freezer wake up tasks in TASK_KILLABLE
sleep too citing non-interruptible but killable sleeps in cifs and
nfs.

I don't think we can do this.  We should not send spurious unsolicited
non-interruptible wakeups.  Most synchornization constructs are built
to cope with spurious wakeups and any INTERRUPTIBLE sleep must be able
to handle spurious wakeups but that's not true for KILLABLE sleeps -
KILLABLE condition cannot be cancelled.

This is probably okay for most cases but circumventing fundamental
wakeup condition like this is asking for trouble.  Furthermore, I'm
not sure the behavior change brought on by this change - breaking
nfs/cifs uninterruptible operation guarantee - is correct.  If such
behavior is desirable, the right thing to do is using intr mount
option, not circumventing it from PM layer.

Neil, Steve, do the network filesystems need a way to indicate "I can
either be killed or enter freezer"?

Thanks.
