Chen Ridong ae591cf234 sched,freezer: Remove unnecessary warning in __thaw_task
commit 9beb8c5e77dc10e3889ff5f967eeffba78617a88 upstream.

Commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not
frozen") modified the cgroup_freezing() logic to verify that the FROZEN
flag is not set, affecting the return value of the freezing() function,
in order to address a warning in __thaw_task.

A race condition exists that may allow tasks to escape being frozen. The
following scenario demonstrates this issue:

CPU 0 (get_signal path)		CPU 1 (freezer.state reader)
try_to_freeze			read freezer.state
__refrigerator			freezer_read
				update_if_frozen
WRITE_ONCE(current->__state, TASK_FROZEN);
				...
				/* Task is now marked frozen */
				/* frozen(task) == true */
				/* Assuming other tasks are frozen */
				freezer->state |= CGROUP_FROZEN;
/* freezing(current) returns false */
/* because cgroup is frozen (not freezing) */
break out
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
/* Bug: Task resumes running when it should remain frozen */

The existing !frozen(p) check in __thaw_task makes the
WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p)) warning redundant. Removing this warning enables
reverting commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if
not frozen") to resolve the issue.

This patch removes the warning from __thaw_task. A subsequent patch will
revert commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if
not frozen") to complete the fix.

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.
