Message-ID: <20070419120131.GB13435@in.ibm.com> Reply-To: ego@in.ibm.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.12-2006-07-14 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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, Regards gautham. -- Gautham R Shenoy Linux Technology Center IBM India.
