This reverts commit cff5f49d43.
Commit cff5f49d43 ("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 cff5f49d43 ("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 cff5f49d43 ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not
frozen") to complete the fix.

FREEZING
When tasks are migrated to a frozen cgroup, the freezer fails to
immediately freeze the tasks, causing the cgroup to remain in the
"FREEZING".
The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN
flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false,
preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task.
To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling
freeze_task().

As explained in the commit 76f969e894 ("cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer"),
the original freezer is imperfect, some users may unwittingly rely on it
when there exists the alternative of v2. Print a message when it happens
and explain that in the docs.

__thaw_task() was recently updated to warn if the task being thawed was
part of a freezer cgroup that is still currently freezing:
void __thaw_task(struct task_struct *p)
{
...
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p)))
goto unlock;
This has exposed a bug in cgroup1 freezing where when CGROUP_FROZEN is
asserted, the CGROUP_FREEZING bits are not also cleared at the same
time. Meaning, when a cgroup is marked FROZEN it continues to be marked
FREEZING as well. This causes the WARNING to trigger, because
cgroup_freezing() thinks the cgroup is still freezing.
There are two ways to fix this:
1. Whenever FROZEN is set, clear FREEZING for the cgroup and all
children cgroups.
2. Update cgroup_freezing() to also verify that FROZEN is not set.
This patch implements option (2), since it's smaller and more
straightforward.

syzbot is again reporting circular locking dependency between

Rewrite the core freezer to behave better wrt thawing and be simpler
in general.
By replacing PF_FROZEN with TASK_FROZEN, a special block state, it is
ensured frozen tasks stay frozen until thawed and don't randomly wake
up early, as is currently possible.
As such, it does away with PF_FROZEN and PF_FREEZER_SKIP, freeing up
two PF_flags (yay!).
Specifically; the current scheme works a little like:
freezer_do_not_count();
schedule();
freezer_count();
And either the task is blocked, or it lands in try_to_freezer()
through freezer_count(). Now, when it is blocked, the freezer
considers it frozen and continues.
However, on thawing, once pm_freezing is cleared, freezer_count()
stops working, and any random/spurious wakeup will let a task run
before its time.
That is, thawing tries to thaw things in explicit order; kernel
threads and workqueues before doing bringing SMP back before userspace
etc.. However due to the above mentioned races it is entirely possible
for userspace tasks to thaw (by accident) before SMP is back.
This can be a fatal problem in asymmetric ISA architectures (eg ARMv9)
where the userspace task requires a special CPU to run.
As said; replace this with a special task state TASK_FROZEN and add
the following state transitions:
TASK_FREEZABLE -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_STOPPED -> TASK_FROZEN
__TASK_TRACED -> TASK_FROZEN
The new TASK_FREEZABLE can be set on any state part of TASK_NORMAL
(IOW. TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE) -- any such state
is already required to deal with spurious wakeups and the freezer
causes one such when thawing the task (since the original state is
lost).
The special __TASK_{STOPPED,TRACED} states *can* be restored since
their canonical state is in ->jobctl.
With this, frozen tasks need an explicit TASK_FROZEN wakeup and are
free of undue (early / spurious) wakeups.
