[PATCH -mm 7/7] Freezer: Take kernel_execve into consideration

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Thu Mar 01 2007 - 10:19:58 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

Kernel threads can become userland processes by calling kernel_execve(). In
particular, this may happen right after try_to_freeze_tasks(FREEZER_USER_SPACE)
has returned, so try_to_freeze_tasks() needs to take userspace processes
into consideration even if it is called with FREEZER_KERNEL_THREADS.
