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.

It is possible for a task to be thawed multiple times when mixing the *legacy* cgroup freezer and system-wide freezer. To do this, freeze the cgroup, do system-wide freeze/thaw, then thaw the cgroup. When this happens, then a stale saved_state can be written to the task's state and cause task to hang indefinitely. Fix this by only trying to thaw tasks that are actually frozen. This change also has the marginal benefit avoiding unnecessary wake_up_state(p, TASK_FROZEN) if we know the task is already thawed. There is not possibility of time-of-compare/time-of-use race when we skip the wake_up_state because entering/exiting TASK_FROZEN is guarded by freezer_lock.
