Not sure I understand you, probably not, but I think the answer is "no" ;)

But this reminds me... can't we implement selective wakeups? So that if a
task T sleeps in state = STOPPED | FROZEN, then ttwu(T, FROZEN) won't wake
it up, it will only clear FROZEN from T->state. Similarly, ttwu(T, STOPPED)
will leave this task with state == FROZEN.

just to remind you that we already discussed TASK_FROZEN a little bit almost
10 years ago ;)

What has been shall be, and what has been done is what will be done, and
there is nothing new under the sun.

Oleg.
