Hi,

So, the ptrace() hangs if we try to attach to stopped task from freezing cgroup.
It seems this was introduced by 5d8f72b55c2756("freezer: change ptrace_stop/do_signal_stop to use freezable_schedule()").
See below for the exact scenario and small script to reproduce this.


Tracee:                                                                 Tracer:
static bool do_signal_stop(int signr)
	__set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED);
	freezable_schedule();
		freezer_do_not_count();
		schedule(); /* waiting for wake up */

									ptrace_attach()
										if (task_is_stopped(task) &&
										    task_set_jobctl_pending(task, JOBCTL_TRAP_STOP | JOBCTL_TRAPPING))
											signal_wake_up_state(task, __TASK_STOPPED);

		/* woken up by ptrace_attach() */
		freezer_count();
			__refrigerator()
										/* And here we will hang, because tracee is now frozen in __refrigerator() */
										wait_on_bit(&task->jobctl, JOBCTL_TRAPPING_BIT,
												TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);



Reproduecer:
-----------
#!/bin/bash
