[ Upstream commit 8f0eed4a78a81668bc78923ea09f51a7a663c2b0 ]
After commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core freezer logic"), tasks that transition directly from TASK_FREEZABLE to TASK_FROZEN are always woken up on the thaw path. Prior to that commit, tasks could ask freezer to consider them "frozen enough" via freezer_do_not_count(). The commit replaced freezer_do_not_count() with a TASK_FREEZABLE state which allows freezer to immediately mark the task as TASK_FROZEN without waking up the task. This is efficient for the suspend path, but on the thaw path, the task is always woken up even if the task didn't need to wake up and goes back to its TASK_(UN)INTERRUPTIBLE state. Although these tasks are capable of handling of the wakeup, we can observe a power/perf impact from the extra wakeup.
We observed on Android many tasks wait in the TASK_FREEZABLE state (particularly due to many of them being binder clients). We observed nearly 4x the number of tasks and a corresponding linear increase in latency and power consumption when thawing the system. The latency increased from ~15ms to ~50ms.
Avoid the spurious wakeups by saving the state of TASK_FREEZABLE tasks. If the task was running before entering TASK_FROZEN state (__refrigerator()) or if the task received a wake up for the saved state, then the task is woken on thaw. saved_state from PREEMPT_RT locks can be re-used because freezer would not stomp on the rtlock wait flow: TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT isn't considered freezable.
