From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Mon, 03 Jun 2002 13:30:28 +0000 Subject: the troublesome spawn of demons Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Hi, looking at the swsuspend code, it seems that there's a race with hotplugging. The swsuspend code assumes that by stopping all tasks except for zombies and kernel threads it will assure that no new tasks are spawned. This is not true as far as hotplugging is concerned. Comments ? Perhaps we should introduce an r/w spinlock and register a power management handler to take it?
