I'm not sure this is related, but remember that thread where Russell was commenting about a regression in try_to_freeze() he was going to work on fixing? I'm curious -- Where did that end up going?

No, this is not related. In any case, the current status of the signal handler issue (what the try_to_freeze mail chain was about) is that Russell said he was going to look into it, but so far nothing has happened (he has neither reverted my original patch as he said he might do; nor has he come up with some new patch).
I guess I could give him a ping, but since he didn't revert my patch after all, it didn't seem a priority to me ...
[ P.S. Maybe you were also thinking of another kernel bug that *did* affect disabling address space randomization (LP #616001): this bug has been fixed upstream by Nicolas a while ago. ]

Interesting. You could reach out and reping just out of courtesy -- I don't like unfinished business, though code's always unfinished in a way.

Yeah, that's what triggered my memory access. But I was really asking about the try_to_freeze() thread.

Sure. I've now pinged Russell again and will try to follow up ...
