[PATCH v3 1/3] CPU hotplug,Freezer: Don't hardcode 'tasks_frozen' argument in _cpu_*()

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Fri Oct 21 2011 - 08:25:07 EST


This patch introduces a 'tasks_frozen' flag that is set whenever tasks are
frozen by the freezer and reset whenever the tasks are thawed. The value of
this flag is then checked by the CPU hotplug code in order to pass the
correct argument to the _cpu_up() and _cpu_down() functions, thereby
reflecting the correct state of the system.
