PATCH 1/1 Rt-tester makes freezing processes fail.

Hi.

Compiling in the rt-tester currently makes freezing processes fail. I don't think there's anything wrong with it running during suspending, so adding PF_NOFREEZE to the flags set seems to be the right solution.

I yesterday queued up the below patch. Which approach is most appropriate?

From: Luca Tettamanti <[email protected]>

When CONFIG_RT_MUTEX_TESTER is enabled kernel refuses to suspend the machine because it's unable to freeze the rt-test-* threads.

Add try_to_freeze() after schedule() so that the threads will be freezed correctly; I've tested the patch and it lets the notebook suspends and resumes nicely.

I prefer the one that makes these threads freeze (ie. the Luca's patch).

Agreed. We definitely do not want unneccessary stuff to run during suspend.
