[ Upstream commit 14a67b42cb6f3ab66f41603c062c5056d32ea7dd ]
This reverts commit cff5f49d433fcd0063c8be7dd08fa5bf190c6c37.
Commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") modified the cgroup_freezing() logic to verify that the FROZEN flag is not set, affecting the return value of the freezing() function, in order to address a warning in __thaw_task.
A race condition exists that may allow tasks to escape being frozen. The following scenario demonstrates this issue:
CPU 0 (get_signal path) CPU 1 (freezer.state reader) try_to_freeze read freezer.state __refrigerator freezer_read update_if_frozen WRITE_ONCE(current->__state, TASK_FROZEN); ... /* Task is now marked frozen */ /* frozen(task) == true */ /* Assuming other tasks are frozen */ freezer->state |= CGROUP_FROZEN; /* freezing(current) returns false */ /* because cgroup is frozen (not freezing) */ break out __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); /* Bug: Task resumes running when it should remain frozen */
The existing !frozen(p) check in __thaw_task makes the WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p)) warning redundant. Removing this warning enables reverting the commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") to resolve the issue.
The warning has been removed in the previous patch. This patch revert the commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") to complete the fix.
