2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner commit 6301cb95c119ebf324bb96ee226fa9ddffad80a7 upstream. commit e3c8ca8336 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags & PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement nr_uninterruptible on thaw. Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and clear it after we return from frozen state.
