In my case, the problem of freezer failing was due to the vfork freezer race in do_fork. The parent task was waiting_for_completion() while the child was frozen. Rafael has already sent out the fix for that, but for some reason I don't see it in the -mm. With that fix, freezer and hence hotplug succeeds even when I am running a 'make -j' test. > > -- > Regards, > vatsa Thanks and Regards gautham. -- Gautham R Shenoy Linux Technology Center IBM India.
