If you search the list, you'll find several similar reports about the

Hallo,
I'm thinking about dropping the x86-64 CONFIG_REORDER for 2.6.22.

Hello Everyone,
Oleg had pointed out some subtle races which could lead to the failure
of the process freezer in the patchset which I had posted earlier.
A couple of these problems seem to be present in the latest -mm(2.6.21-rc6-mm1).
This is an attempt to fix them.
Awaiting you feedback,
This patch fixes the race pointed out by Oleg Nesterov.
* Freezer marks a thread as freezeable.
* The thread now marks itself PF_NOFREEZE causing it to
freeze on calling try_to_freeze(). Thus the task is frozen, even though
it doesn't want to.
* Subsequent thaw_processes() will also fail to

Threads which wait for completion on a frozen thread might result in

There are some well known cases where it's preferable to temporarily thaw
