A freezable kernel thread can enter frozen state during freezing by either calling try_to_freeze() or using wait_event_freezable() and its variants. However, there is no need to use both methods simultaneously. The freezable wait variants have been used in khugepaged_wait_work() and khugepaged_alloc_sleep(), so remove this redundant try_to_freeze(). I used the following stress-ng command to generate some memory load on my Intel Alder Lake board (24 CPUs, 32G memory). stress-ng --vm 48 --vm-bytes 90% The worst freezing latency is: Freezing user space processes Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.040 seconds) OOM killer disabled. Freezing remaining freezable tasks Freezing remaining freezable tasks completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds) Without the faked memory load, the freezing latency is: Freezing user space processes Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.000 seconds) OOM killer disabled. Freezing remaining freezable tasks Freezing remaining freezable tasks completed (elapsed 0.001 seconds) I didn't see any observable difference whether this patch is applied or not.

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 Restructured Text 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.
