I disagree with "rather odd" ;)

We have a lot of examples of

	current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
	...
	if (signal_pending())
		break;
	schedule();

Without that special case in schedule() the code above becomes racy.
Just consider __wait_event_interruptible().

Well. As a simple (probably temporary) fix, I'd suggest

	#define wait_event_freezekillable(wq, condition)
	{
		freezer_do_not_count();
		__retval = wait_event_killable(condition);
		freezer_count();
		__retval;
	}

Do you think it can work?

Oleg.
