From 85f4186af944c1240c84934a9ab578743df2d69b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 9 May 2007 02:34:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] worker_thread: fix racy try_to_freeze() usage worker_thread() can miss freeze_process()->signal_wake_up() if it happens between try_to_freeze() and prepare_to_wait(). We should check freezing() before entering schedule(). This race was introduced by me in [PATCH 1/1] workqueue: don't migrate pending works from the dead CPU Looks like mm/vmscan.c:kswapd() has the same race.
