Next: [PATCH v21 087/100] powerpc: wire up checkpoint and restart syscalls
From: Oren Laadan on 1 May 2010 10:40 Add public interface to freeze a cgroup freezer given a task that belongs to that cgroup: cgroup_freezer_make_frozen(task) Freezing the root cgroup is not permitted. Freezing the cgroup to which current process belong is also not permitted. This will be used for restart(2) to be able to leave the restarted processes in a frozen state, instead of resuming execution. This is useful for debugging, if the user would like to attach a debugger to the restarted task(s). It is also useful if the restart procedure would like to perform additional setup once the tasks are restored but before they are allowed to proceed execution.
