Hi,
The patches in these series update the freezer to eliminate some existing
shortcomings, so please consider them as 2.6.23 material.
The patches do the following:
* update the freezer documentation to describe, previously omitted, important
reason for freezing tasks (ie. memory shrinking)
* remove sys_sync() from the freezer and make the suspend/hibernation code
invoke it explicitly
* prevent new tasks from inheriting TIF_FREEZE set from the parents
* introduce freezer-firendly wrappers around wait_event_interruptible()
and wait_event_interruptible_timeout()
* prevent the freezer from sending signals to kernel threads
Greetings,
Rafael
