Hi Rafael,

Is there any new material touching kernel/workqueue.c or kernel/freezer.c?

We seem to have a freezer regression in linux-next which doesn't seem to be
present in my tree.

There are no commits in next-20120124 that touch either of those files.

Since v3.2 we have these (so in the merge window and Linus' tree):

$ git shortlog v3.2..master kernel/workqueue.c kernel/freezer.c
Tejun Heo (17):
      freezer: fix current->state restoration race in refrigerator()
      freezer: unexport refrigerator() and update try_to_freeze() slightly
      freezer: implement and use kthread_freezable_should_stop()
      freezer: rename thaw_process() to __thaw_task() and simplify the implement
      freezer: use dedicated lock instead of task_lock() + memory barrier
      freezer: make freezing indicate freeze condition in effect
      freezer: test freezable conditions while holding freezer_lock
      freezer: kill PF_FREEZING
      freezer: clean up freeze_processes() failure path
      freezer: make freezing() test freeze conditions in effect instead of TIF_F
      freezer: remove should_send_signal() and update frozen()
      freezer: fix set_freezable[_with_signal]() race
      freezer: restructure __refrigerator()
      freezer: use lock_task_sighand() in fake_signal_wake_up()
      freezer: remove unused @sig_only from freeze_task()
      freezer: kill unused set_freezable_with_signal()
      workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for name
