Ugh. I thought we deprecated create_freezeable_workqueue(), exactly
because suspend was changed to call _cpu_down() after freeze().

It is not that "looks like freezable worqueues still deadlock", it
is "of course, freezable worqueues deadlocks" on CPU_DEAD.

The ->freezeable is still here just because of incoming "cpu-hotplug
using freezer" rework.

No?

Confused. How can we see, say CPU_UP_PREPARE_FROZEN, if we cleared
CPU_TASKS_FROZEN bit?

Minor, but can't we do

		...
		case CPU_UP_CANCELED:
		case CPU_UP_CANCELED_FROZEN:
			start_workqueue_thread(cwq, -1);
		case CPU_DEAD_FROZEN:
			if (wq->freezeable)
				// we can't see PF_FROZEN if it was CPU_UP_CANCELED
				thaw_process(cwq->thread);
		case CPU_DEAD:
			cleanup_workqueue_thread(cwq, cpu);
			break;

?

Oleg.
