Subject: [PATCH 1/4] freezer_cg: fix improper BUG_ON() causing oops
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 08:48:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48FD26F5.1070809@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

The BUG_ON() should be protected by freezer->lock, otherwise it
can be triggered easily when a task has been unfreezed but the
corresponding cgroup hasn't been changed to FROZEN state.
