Subject: [PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc4~42
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7ef7878ea7c8bca9b624db3f61223cdadda2a0a;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] Make suspend possible with a traced process at a breakpoint

It should be possible to suspend, either to RAM or to disk, if there's a
traced process that has just reached a breakpoint.  However, this is a
special case, because its parent process might have been frozen already and
then we are unable to deliver the "freeze" signal to the traced process.
If this happens, it's better to cancel the freezing of the traced process.
