Subject: [PATCH 1/1] freezer: fix wait_event_freezable/__thaw_task races
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2011 20:22:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110907182217.GB13909@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110907182156.GA13909@redhat.com>

wait_event_freezable() and wait_event_freezable_timeout() stop
the waiting if try_to_freeze() fails. This is not right, we can
race with __thaw_task() and in this case

	- wait_event_freezable() returns the wrong ERESTARTSYS

	- wait_event_freezable_timeout() can return the positive
	  value while condition == F

Change the code to always check __retval/condition before return.

Note: with or without this patch the timeout logic looks strange,
probably we should recalc timeout if try_to_freeze() returns T.
