+ * The PF_FREEZER_SKIP flag should be set by a vfork parent right before it
+ * calls wait_for_completion(&vfork) and reset right after it returns from this
+ * function. Next, the parent should call try_to_freeze() to freeze itself
+ * appropriately in case the child has exited before the freezing of tasks is
+ * complete. However, we don't want kernel threads to be frozen in unexpected
+ * places, so we allow them to block freeze_processes() instead or to set
+ * PF_NOFREEZE if needed and PF_FREEZER_SKIP is only set for userland vfork
+ * parents. Fortunately, in the ____call_usermodehelper() case the parent won't
+ * really block freeze_processes(), since ____call_usermodehelper() (the child)
+ * does a little before exec/exit and it can't be frozen before waking up the
+ * parent.
