From 0acf00014bcfd71090c3b0d43c98e970108064e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 08:56:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lguest: move process freezing before pending signals check run_guest tries to freeze the current process after it has handled pending interrupts and before it calls lguest_arch_run_guest. This doesn't work nicely if the task has been killed while being frozen and when we want to handle that signal as soon as possible. Let's move try_to_freeze before we check for pending signal so that we can get out of the loop as soon as possible.
