If a new child cgroup is created in the frozen cgroup hierarchy (one or more of ancestor cgroups is frozen), the CGRP_FREEZE cgroup flag should be set. Otherwise if a process will be attached to the child cgroup, it won't become frozen.
The problem can be reproduced with the test_cgfreezer_mkdir test.
This is the output before this patch: ~/test_freezer ok 1 test_cgfreezer_simple ok 2 test_cgfreezer_tree ok 3 test_cgfreezer_forkbomb Cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/cg_test_mkdir_A/cg_test_mkdir_B isn't frozen not ok 4 test_cgfreezer_mkdir ok 5 test_cgfreezer_rmdir ok 6 test_cgfreezer_migrate ok 7 test_cgfreezer_ptrace ok 8 test_cgfreezer_stopped ok 9 test_cgfreezer_ptraced ok 10 test_cgfreezer_vfork
And with this patch: ~/test_freezer ok 1 test_cgfreezer_simple ok 2 test_cgfreezer_tree ok 3 test_cgfreezer_forkbomb ok 4 test_cgfreezer_mkdir ok 5 test_cgfreezer_rmdir ok 6 test_cgfreezer_migrate ok 7 test_cgfreezer_ptrace ok 8 test_cgfreezer_stopped ok 9 test_cgfreezer_ptraced ok 10 test_cgfreezer_vfork
