commit fe9161db2e6053da21e4649d77bbefaf3030b11d upstream.

In the SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl, if the call to hibernation_snapshot()
fails, the frozen tasks are not thawed.

And in the case of success, if we happen to exit due to a successful freezer
test, all tasks (including those of userspace) are thawed, whereas actually
we should have thawed only the kernel threads at that point. Fix both these
issues.

commit 97819a26224f019e73d88bb2fd4eb5a614860461 upstream.

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 (PM / Hibernate: Freeze
kernel threads after preallocating memory) moved the freezing of kernel
threads to hibernation_snapshot() function.

So now, if the call to hibernation_snapshot() returns early due to a
successful hibernation test, the caller has to thaw processes to ensure
that the system gets back to its original state.

But in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE hibernation ioctl, the caller does not thaw
processes in case hibernation_snapshot() returned due to a successful
freezer test. Fix this issue. But note we still send the value of 'in_suspend'
(which is now 0) to userspace, because we are not in an error path per-se,
and moreover, the value of in_suspend correctly depicts the situation here.

<title>PM / Hibernate: Fix s2disk regression related to freezing workqueues</title>

commit 181e9bdef37bfcaa41f3ab6c948a2a0d60a268b5 upstream.

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056

  PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory

introduced a mechanism by which kernel threads were frozen after
the preallocation of hibernate image memory to avoid problems with
frozen kernel threads not responding to memory freeing requests.
However, it overlooked the s2disk code path in which the
SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl was run directly after SNAPSHOT_FREE,
which caused freeze_workqueues_begin() to BUG(), because it saw
that worqueues had been already frozen.

Although in principle this issue might be addressed by removing
the relevant BUG_ON() from freeze_workqueues_begin(), that would
reintroduce the very problem that commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be4
attempted to avoid into that particular code path.  For this reason,
to fix the issue at hand, introduce thaw_kernel_threads() and make
the SNAPSHOT_FREE ioctl execute it.

Special thanks to Srivatsa S. Bhat for detailed analysis of the
problem.

The hibernation core code forgets to release memory preallocated
for hibernation if there's an error in its early stages or if test
modes causing hibernation_snapshot() to return early are used.  This
causes the system to be hardly usable, because the amount of
preallocated memory is usually huge.  Fix this problem.

a missing pair of braces inside the state_store() function causes even
invalid arguments to suspend to be wrongly treated as failed suspend

Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056
(PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory)
postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory
for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER
and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly.

As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of
userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task
freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well.

So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of
kernel threads is also tested while using these test harnesses.
