[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen-blkback: clear PF_NOFREEZE for xen_blkif_schedule()

[Jiri Kosina <jikos@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@xxxxxxx>

xen_blkif_schedule() kthread calls try_to_freeze() at the beginning of 
every attempt to purge the LRU. This operation can't ever succeed though, 
as the kthread hasn't marked itself as freezable.

Before (hopefully eventually) kthread freezing gets converted to fileystem 
freezing, we'd rather mark xen_blkif_schedule() freezable (as it can 
generate I/O during suspend).
