Hmm. And afaics there is another problem. This can "livelock" if
check_kthr_stop && kthread_should_stop().

May be we should consolidate the freezer_lock's sections, something
like below?

Hmm. But I got lost a bit. Why do we need freezer_lock to set/clear
PF_FROZEN ? OK, the code below takes freezer_lock for freezing().
Is there any other reason?

Oleg.

bool __refrigerator(bool check_kthr_stop)
{
	/* Hmm, should we be allowed to suspend when there are realtime
	   processes around? */
	bool was_frozen = false;
	long save;

	save = current->state;
	pr_debug("%s entered refrigerator\n", current->comm);

	for (;;) {
		set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);

		spin_lock_irq(&freezer_lock);
		current->flags |= PF_FROZEN;
		if (!freezing(current) ||
		    (check_kthr_stop && kthread_should_stop()))
			current->flags &= ~PF_FROZEN;
		spin_unlock_irq(&freezer_lock);

		if (!current->flags & PF_FROZEN)
			break;

		was_frozen = true;
		schedule();
	}

	spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
	recalc_sigpending(); /* We sent fake signal, clean it up */
	spin_unlock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);

	pr_debug("%s left refrigerator\n", current->comm);
	/*
	 * Restore saved task state before returning.  The mb'd version
	 * needs to be used; otherwise, it might silently break
	 * synchronization which depends on ordered task state change.
	 */
	set_current_state(save);

	return was_frozen;
}
