    Subject[PATCH 02/16] freezer: don't unnecessarily set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly
    Date
    Some drivers set PF_NOFREEZE in their kthread functions which is
    completely unnecessary and racy - some part of freezer code doesn't
    consider cases where PF_NOFREEZE is set asynchronous to freezer
    operations.

    In general, there's no reason to allow setting PF_NOFREEZE explicitly.
    Remove them and change the documentation to note that setting
    PF_NOFREEZE directly isn't allowed.

    Kernel threads are not freezable by default. However, a kernel thread may clear
    PF_NOFREEZE for itself by calling set_freezable() (the resetting of PF_NOFREEZE
    -directly is strongly discouraged). From this point it is regarded as freezable
    +directly is not allowed). From this point it is regarded as freezable
    and must call try_to_freeze() in a suitable place.

    IV. Why do we do that?
