sched,freezer: Remove unnecessary warning in __thaw_task
commit 9beb8c5e upstream. Commit cff5f49d ("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 commit cff5f49d ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") to resolve the issue. This patch removes the warning from __thaw_task. A subsequent patch will revert commit cff5f49d ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") to complete the fix. Reported-by:Zhong <Jiawei<zhongjiawei1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by:
