SubjectRe: [PATCH v6 4/7] cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer
Hi Oleg!

Thank you for looking into the patchset!

Yes, I think you're right: cgroup_exit() should check CGRP_FREEZE bit,
not CGRP_FROZEN. Like cgroup_post_fork() does (a one-liner change below).

About spurious transitions (like frozen->non frozen->frozen on a task
being SIGKILLed):
in early versions of the patchset I've tried to avoid them, but then
following the Tejun's advice
switched over to expose them to a user. The logic behind is simple: if
the state of the cgroup has been changed (a task is gone, for
example), let's notify a user.

nr_tasks_to_freeze is simple a number of non-kthead tasks in the
cgroup, which we do
keep actual only for freezing cgroups (to avoid an unnecessary overhead).

Thanks!
