[PATCH 2/5] lockdep: check that no locks held at freeze time

From: Mandeep Singh Baines
Date: Thu Feb 14 2013 - 18:38:41 EST


We shouldn't try_to_freeze if locks are held. Verified that
I get no lockdep warnings after applying this patch and
"vfork: don't freezer_count() for in-kernel users of CLONE_VFORK".
