| |
3fb45733df "freezer: make exiting tasks properly unfreezable" removed clear_freeze_flag() from exit path and set PF_NOFREEZE right after PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT; however, Oleg pointed out that following exit paths may cause interaction with device drivers after PM freezer consider the system frozen.
There's no try_to_freeze() call in the exit path and the only necessary guarantee is that freezer doesn't hang waiting for zombies. Set PF_NOFREEZE right before setting tsk->state to TASK_DEAD instead.
