If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()), a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen. The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state. To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise. To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path, let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task is going to stay frozen.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
