Agreed. Will do that.

I was wondering if the statement
if (process_frozen_event_mask(p) & ~current_freezer_event)
return 0;
would be readable in the first place!
Yeah, we can do what you have suggested.

Right! So we would need one more label. How about the following?
mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex);
/* check if already frozen for the event */
if (system_frozen_event_mask & freeze_event)
goto out_frozen;
.
.
.
out_frozen:
BUG_ON(in_atomic());
out:
current_freezer_event = 0;
mutex_unlock(&freezer_mutex);
return nr_unfrozen;
}

Well, yes. But I put the warn on from the perspective of someone trying
to thaw_processes for the event for which they have not frozen. I hadn't
thought about a double thaw. Will rethink.
Thanks for the Review.
