Winston Wen 0045fb1bab fanotify: allow freeze when waiting response for permission events
This is a long-standing issue that uninterruptible sleep in fanotify
could make system hibernation fail if the usperspace server gets frozen
before the process waiting for the response (as reported e.g. [1][2]).

A few years ago, there was an attempt to switch to interruptible sleep
while waiting [3], but that would lead to EINTR returns from open(2)
and break userspace [4], so it's been changed to only killable [5].

And the core freezer logic had been rewritten [6][7] in v6.1, allowing
freezing in uninterrupted sleep, so we can solve this problem now.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
