[PATCH v2 1/4] PM: freezer: Add retry count statistics for freeze pass iterations
From: Zihuan Zhang
Date: Wed Jun 18 2025 - 23:54:59 EST
Freezer retry loops during suspend are often triggered by tasks entering
D-state (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE), which cannot be frozen. This patch adds
a simple retry counter to freeze_processes() to help quantify how many
attempts were required before all tasks entered the frozen state. This
is useful for performance tuning and debugging unpredictable suspend
delays.
A new dmesg log is added for visibility:
freeze round: xx, tasks to freeze: xx
This message allows users to correlate freeze instability with system
state.
