Ok. Now that I've actually done some work toward getting it to work with
Suspend2, I'll give a more cogent response to Christoph's approach.
I believe it can work, but the algorithm in freeze() is a bit of a
concern.
Checking whether the todo list is empty is fine while we're the only
user, but when other functionality is using this, it will be unreliable.
We'll either need a quick way to check what todo work is pending for a
task (traverse list would be racy). We can't say "We know we signalled
them all already" because more might have forked.
One possibility might be to leverage the existing counting - when
num_signalled = num_frozen, we can signal a new batch with impunity. But
this assumes everything signalled properly enters the fridge (which
might not always be guaranteed).
Perhaps it's best to keep PF_FREEZING? Perhaps there's another
possibility.
Regards,
Nigel
