This reverts commit 6aa9707099c4b25700940eb3d016f16c4434360d.

Commit 6aa9707099c4 ("lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time")
causes problems with NFS root filesystems.  The failures were noticed on
OMAP2 and 3 boards during kernel init:

  [ BUG: swapper/0/1 still has locks held! ]

Although the rootfs mounts, the system is unstable.  Here's a transcript
from a PM test:

Here's what the test log should look like:

Mailing list discussion is here:

Deal with this for v3.9 by reverting the problem commit, until folks can
figure out the right long-term course of action.

We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held.  Holding a lock can cause a
deadlock if the lock is later acquired in the suspend or hibernate path
(e.g.  by dpm).  Holding a lock can also cause a deadlock in the case of
cgroup_freezer if a lock is held inside a frozen cgroup that is later
acquired by a process outside that group.

At present, the value of timeout for freezing is 20s, which is
meaningless in case that one thread is frozen with mutex locked
and another thread is trying to lock the mutex, as this time of
freezing will fail unavoidably.
And if there is no new wakeup event registered, the system will
waste at most 20s for such meaningless trying of freezing.

With this patch, the value of timeout can be configured to smaller
value, so such meaningless trying of freezing will be aborted in
earlier time, and later freezing can be also triggered in earlier
time. And more power will be saved.
In normal case on mobile phone, it costs real little time to freeze
processes. On some platform, it only costs about 20ms to freeze
user space processes and 10ms to freeze kernel freezable threads.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  The big changes are focused on
  making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.

   - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
     destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
     drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
     caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
     reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
     path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
     separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
     changes on top.

   - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
     implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
     improve hierarchy support.

   - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
     cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
     cgroups are frozen.

   - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
     properly.

   - Various fixes and cleanups.

   - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
     to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
     device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
     stacked on top."

Fixed up a trivial conflict in mm/memcontrol.c as per Tejun (due to
commit bea8c150a7 ("memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops") in master
touching code close to commit 2ef37d3fe4 ("memcg: Simplify
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handling") in for-3.8)

<title>freezer: change ptrace_stop/do_signal_stop to use freezable_schedule()</title>

try_to_freeze_tasks() and cgroup_freezer rely on scheduler locks
to ensure that a task doing STOPPED/TRACED -&gt; RUNNING transition
can't escape freezing. This mostly works, but ptrace_stop() does
not necessarily call schedule(), it can change task-&gt;state back to
RUNNING and check freezing() without any lock/barrier in between.

We could add the necessary barrier, but this patch changes
ptrace_stop() and do_signal_stop() to use freezable_schedule().
This fixes the race, freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()
carefully avoid the race.

And this simplifies the code, try_to_freeze_tasks/update_if_frozen
no longer need to use task_is_stopped_or_traced() checks with the
non trivial assumptions. We can rely on the mechanism which was
specially designed to mark the sleeping task as "frozen enough".

v2: As Tejun pointed out, we can also change get_signal_to_deliver()
and move try_to_freeze() up before 'relock' label.

<title>freezer: add missing mb's to freezer_count() and freezer_should_skip()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dd67d32dbc5de299d70cc9e10c6c1e29ffa56b92</id>
<content type='text'>
A task is considered frozen enough between freezer_do_not_count() and
freezer_count() and freezers use freezer_should_skip() to test this
condition.  This supposedly works because freezer_count() always calls
try_to_freezer() after clearing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP.

However, there currently is nothing which guarantees that
freezer_count() sees %true freezing() after clearing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP
when freezing is in progress, and vice-versa.  A task can escape the
freezing condition in effect by freezer_count() seeing !freezing() and
freezer_should_skip() seeing %PF_FREEZER_SKIP.

This patch adds smp_mb()'s to freezer_count() and
freezer_should_skip() such that either %true freezing() is visible to
freezer_count() or !PF_FREEZER_SKIP is visible to
freezer_should_skip().

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056

  PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory

introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.

Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4
attempted to avoid into that particular code path.  For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.

Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

...it should return the return code from schedule_timeout_killable(),
not the one from freezer_count().

All of the current callers ignore the return code so the bug is
harmless but it's worth fixing.

<content type='text'>
At present, the functions freezer_count() and freezer_do_not_count()
impose the restriction that they are effective only for userspace processes.
However, now, these functions have found more utility than originally
intended by the commit which introduced it: ba96a0c8 (freezer:
fix vfork problem). And moreover, even the vfork issue actually does not
need the above restriction in these functions.

So, modify these functions to make them work even for kernel threads, so
that they can be used at other places in the kernel, where the userspace
restriction doesn't apply.
