I disagree with "rather odd" ;)

We have a lot of examples of

current->state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
...
if (signal_pending())
break;
schedule();

Without that special case in schedule() the code above becomes racy.
Just consider __wait_event_interruptible().

Well. As a simple (probably temporary) fix, I'd suggest

#define wait_event_freezekillable(wq, condition)
{
freezer_do_not_count();
__retval = wait_event_killable(condition);
freezer_count();
__retval;
}

Do you think it can work?

Oleg.
