Hi, The patches in these series update the freezer to eliminate some existing shortcomings, so please consider them as 2.6.23 material. The patches do the following: * update the freezer documentation to describe, previously omitted, important reason for freezing tasks (ie. memory shrinking) * remove sys_sync() from the freezer and make the suspend/hibernation code invoke it explicitly * prevent new tasks from inheriting TIF_FREEZE set from the parents * introduce freezer-firendly wrappers around wait_event_interruptible() and wait_event_interruptible_timeout() * prevent the freezer from sending signals to kernel threads Greetings, Rafael -- "Premature optimization is the root of all evil." - Donald Knuth - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
