+Freezing of tasks
+ (C) 2007 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL
+
+I. What is the freezing of tasks?
+
+The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some
+kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some
+architectures).
+
+II. How does it work?
+
+There are four per-task flags used for that, PF_NOFREEZE, PF_FROZEN, TIF_FREEZE
+and PF_FREEZER_SKIP (the last one is auxiliary). The tasks that have
+PF_NOFREEZE unset (all user space processes and some kernel threads) are
+regarded as 'freezable' and treated in a special way before the system enters a
+suspend state as well as before a hibernation image is created (in what follows
+we only consider hibernation, but the description also applies to suspend).
+
+Namely, as the first step of the hibernation procedure the function
+freeze_processes() (defined in kernel/power/process.c) is called. It executes
+try_to_freeze_tasks() that sets TIF_FREEZE for all of the freezable tasks and
+sends a fake signal to each of them. A task that receives such a signal and has
+TIF_FREEZE set, should react to it by calling the refrigerator() function
+(defined in kernel/power/process.c), which sets the task's PF_FROZEN flag,
+changes its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and makes it loop until PF_FROZEN is
+cleared for it. Then, we say that the task is 'frozen' and therefore the set of
+functions handling this mechanism is called 'the freezer' (these functions are
+defined in kernel/power/process.c and include/linux/freezer.h). User space
+processes are generally frozen before kernel threads.
+
+It is not recommended to call refrigerator() directly. Instead, it is
+recommended to use the try_to_freeze() function (defined in
+include/linux/freezer.h), that checks the task's TIF_FREEZE flag and makes the
+task enter refrigerator() if the flag is set.
+
+For user space processes try_to_freeze() is called automatically from the
+signal-handling code, but the freezable kernel threads need to call it
+explicitly in suitable places. The code to do this may look like the following:
+
+ do {
+ hub_events();
+ wait_event_interruptible(khubd_wait,
+ !list_empty(&hub_event_list));
+ try_to_freeze();
+ } while (!signal_pending(current));
+
+(from drivers/usb/core/hub.c::hub_thread()).
+
+If a freezable kernel thread fails to call try_to_freeze() after the freezer has
+set TIF_FREEZE for it, the freezing of tasks will fail and the entire
+hibernation operation will be cancelled. For this reason, freezable kernel
+threads must call try_to_freeze() somewhere.
+
+After the system memory state has been restored from a hibernation image and
+devices have been reinitialized, the function thaw_processes() is called in
+order to clear the PF_FROZEN flag for each frozen task. Then, the tasks that
+have been frozen leave refrigerator() and continue running.
+
+III. Which kernel threads are freezable?
+
+Kernel threads are not freezable by default. However, a kernel thread may clear
+PF_NOFREEZE for itself by calling set_freezable() (the resetting of PF_NOFREEZE
+directly is strongly discouraged). From this point it is regarded as freezable
+and must call try_to_freeze() in a suitable place.
+
+IV. Why do we do that?
+
+Generally speaking, there is a couple of reasons to use the freezing of tasks:
+
+1. The principal reason is to prevent filesystems from being damaged after
+hibernation. At the moment we have no simple means of checkpointing
+filesystems, so if there are any modifications made to filesystem data and/or
+metadata on disks, we cannot bring them back to the state from before the
+modifications. At the same time each hibernation image contains some
+filesystem-related information that must be consistent with the state of the
+on-disk data and metadata after the system memory state has been restored from
+the image (otherwise the filesystems will be damaged in a nasty way, usually
+making them almost impossible to repair). We therefore freeze tasks that might
+cause the on-disk filesystems' data and metadata to be modified after the
+hibernation image has been created and before the system is finally powered off.
+The majority of these are user space processes, but if any of the kernel threads
+may cause something like this to happen, they have to be freezable.
+
+2. The second reason is to prevent user space processes and some kernel threads
+from interfering with the suspending and resuming of devices. A user space
+process running on a second CPU while we are suspending devices may, for
+example, be troublesome and without the freezing of tasks we would need some
+safeguards against race conditions that might occur in such a case.
+
+Although Linus Torvalds doesn't like the freezing of tasks, he said this in one
+of the discussions on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/27/608):
+
+"RJW:> Why we freeze tasks at all or why we freeze kernel threads?
+
+Linus: In many ways, 'at all'.
+
+I _do_ realize the IO request queue issues, and that we cannot actually do
+s2ram with some devices in the middle of a DMA. So we want to be able to
+avoid *that*, there's no question about that. And I suspect that stopping
+user threads and then waiting for a sync is practically one of the easier
+ways to do so.
+
+So in practice, the 'at all' may become a 'why freeze kernel threads?' and
+freezing user threads I don't find really objectionable."
+
+Still, there are kernel threads that may want to be freezable. For example, if
+a kernel that belongs to a device driver accesses the device directly, it in
+principle needs to know when the device is suspended, so that it doesn't try to
+access it at that time. However, if the kernel thread is freezable, it will be
+frozen before the driver's .suspend() callback is executed and it will be
+thawed after the driver's .resume() callback has run, so it won't be accessing
+the device while it's suspended.
+
+3. Another reason for freezing tasks is to prevent user space processes from
+realizing that hibernation (or suspend) operation takes place. Ideally, user
+space processes should not notice that such a system-wide operation has occurred
+and should continue running without any problems after the restore (or resume
+from suspend). Unfortunately, in the most general case this is quite difficult
+to achieve without the freezing of tasks. Consider, for example, a process
+that depends on all CPUs being online while it's running. Since we need to
+disable nonboot CPUs during the hibernation, if this process is not frozen, it
+may notice that the number of CPUs has changed and may start to work incorrectly
+because of that.
+
+V. Are there any problems related to the freezing of tasks?
+
+Yes, there are.
+
+First of all, the freezing of kernel threads may be tricky if they depend one
+on another. For example, if kernel thread A waits for a completion (in the
+TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state) that needs to be done by freezable kernel thread B
+and B is frozen in the meantime, then A will be blocked until B is thawed, which
+may be undesirable. That's why kernel threads are not freezable by default.
+
+Second, there are the following two problems related to the freezing of user
+space processes:
+1. Putting processes into an uninterruptible sleep distorts the load average.
+2. Now that we have FUSE, plus the framework for doing device drivers in
+userspace, it gets even more complicated because some userspace processes are
+now doing the sorts of things that kernel threads do
+(https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2007-May/012309.html).
+
+The problem 1. seems to be fixable, although it hasn't been fixed so far. The
+other one is more serious, but it seems that we can work around it by using
+hibernation (and suspend) notifiers (in that case, though, we won't be able to
+avoid the realization by the user space processes that the hibernation is taking
+place).
+
+There are also problems that the freezing of tasks tends to expose, although
+they are not directly related to it. For example, if request_firmware() is
+called from a device driver's .resume() routine, it will timeout and eventually
+fail, because the user land process that should respond to the request is frozen
+at this point. So, seemingly, the failure is due to the freezing of tasks.
+Suppose, however, that the firmware file is located on a filesystem accessible
+only through another device that hasn't been resumed yet. In that case,
+request_firmware() will fail regardless of whether or not the freezing of tasks
+is used. Consequently, the problem is not really related to the freezing of
+tasks, since it generally exists anyway. [The solution to this particular
+problem is to keep the firmware in memory after it's loaded for the first time
+and upload if from memory to the device whenever necessary.]

-KERNEL THREADS

-
-Freezer
-
-Upon entering a suspended state the system will freeze all
-tasks. This is done by delivering pseudosignals. This affects
-kernel threads, too. To successfully freeze a kernel thread
-the thread has to check for the pseudosignal and enter the
-refrigerator. Code to do this looks like this:
-
- do {
- hub_events();
- wait_event_interruptible(khubd_wait, !list_empty(&hub_event_list));
- try_to_freeze();
- } while (!signal_pending(current));
-
-from drivers/usb/core/hub.c::hub_thread()
-
-
-The Unfreezable
-
-Some kernel threads however, must not be frozen. The kernel must
-be able to finish pending IO operations and later on be able to
-write the memory image to disk. Kernel threads needed to do IO
-must stay awake. Such threads must mark themselves unfreezable
-like this:
-
- /*
- * This thread doesn't need any user-level access,
- * so get rid of all our resources.
- */
- daemonize("usb-storage");
-
- current->flags |= PF_NOFREEZE;
-
-from drivers/usb/storage/usb.c::usb_stor_control_thread()
-
-Such drivers are themselves responsible for staying quiet during
-the actual snapshotting.
website, and not to the Linux Kernel Mailing List. We are working
toward merging suspend2 into the mainline kernel.
-Q: A kernel thread must voluntarily freeze itself (call 'refrigerator').
-I found some kernel threads that don't do it, and they don't freeze
-so the system can't sleep. Is this a known behavior?
-
-A: All such kernel threads need to be fixed, one by one. Select the
-place where the thread is safe to be frozen (no kernel semaphores
-should be held at that point and it must be safe to sleep there), and
-add:
-
- try_to_freeze();
-
-If the thread is needed for writing the image to storage, you should
-instead set the PF_NOFREEZE process flag when creating the thread (and
-be very careful).
+Q: What is the freezing of tasks and why are we using it?
+A: The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some
+kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some
+architectures). See freezing-of-tasks.txt for details.
Q: What is the difference between "platform" and "shutdown"?
