When userspace issues commands to a freeze listener, it identifies it using a cookie. Normally this cookie uniquely identifies a freeze listener, but when userspace clears a listener with the intent of deleting it, it's allowed to "regret" clearing it and create a new freeze listener for the same node using the same cookie. (IMO this was an API mistake, but userspace relies on it.) Currently if the active freeze listener gets fully deleted while there are still pending duplicates, then the code incorrectly deletes the pending duplicates too. To fix this, do not delete the entry if there are still pending duplicates. Since the current data structure requires a main freeze listener, we convert one pending duplicate into the primary listener in this scenario.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
