I thought that this variable is just the state of the cgroup.freeze knob,
where the freezer field contains the internal state of the freezer, and
can in theory be allocated dynamically.
Not a strong preference, I can move it there too, if you prefer to.

Yeah, looks good to me, will rename.

Idk, maybe cgroup_enter_frozen()/cgroup_leave_frozen() ?

Why so?
It actually means that the task is looping somewhere in the signal delivery loop
after entering cgroup_freezer_enter() and before cgroup_freezer_leave().
Maybe simple "task is frozen by the cgroup freezer"?

Don't we? I think we do. I've proposed a patch to fix this some time ago
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/10/12/556), but was NAKed by Peter.

So, maybe cgroup_notify_frozen() is not the best name, maybe
cgroup_propagate_frozen() better reflects what's happening here.
We need to recalc the state of ancestor cgroups, and we have to do it
with cgroup_mutex held, this is why we do it from the delayed work
context (on hot paths).
The first pat of the function can be probably separated and called
immediately. Is this what you're suggesting?

Hm, really? I mean the notification part is really simple: every time
we do the state transition (set or clear CGRP_FROZEN flag), we call
cgroup_file_notify(). That's it.
I can wrap it to a helper function though, might be looking better.
E.g. cgroup_set/clear_frozen(), which will toggle the bit and call
cgroup_file_notify() if necessary.

Using the css_set_lock.

Yeah, let me check it out.

Probably, not. But we might exclude JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE from the
JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK, and it will be enough.

Sure, will add lot more comments, once we'll agree on the actual implementation
in the thread with Oleg.
Thank you for the code review!
