hibernate fails to freeze tasks

hibernate fails to freeze tasks

[Johannes Berg]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 324 bytes --]

On my quad powermac, with a current git snapshot, hibernating fails to
freeze tasks and then dumps me a snapshot of the tasks. I've uploaded it
here because it's so long:
http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/files/quad-syslog-hibernate-fails

Haven't found time to look into it yet, any ideas are appreciated.

Please try the patch below.

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Do not allow processes to clear their TIF_SIGPENDING if TIF_FREEZE is set,
so that they will not race with the freezer (like mysqld, for example).

This URL gives me "403 - Forbidden".

Now it fails at "freezing remaining freezable tasks" (even tries twice.)
This is due to windfarm using
	if (signal_pending() && !try_to_freeze())
and your commit d5d8c5976d6adeddb8208c240460411e2198b393.

I'll post a fix for windfarm, just tested it and it works now, thanks.
