    freezer: skip waking up tasks with PF_FREEZER_SKIP set · 613f5d13

    Android goes through suspend/resume very often (every few seconds when
    on a busy wifi network with the screen off), and a significant portion
    of the energy used to go in and out of suspend is spent in the
    freezer.  If a task has called freezer_do_not_count(), don't bother
    waking it up.  If it happens to wake up later it will call
    freezer_count() and immediately enter the refrigerator.
    
    Combined with patches to convert freezable helpers to use
    freezer_do_not_count() and convert common sites where idle userspace
    tasks are blocked to use the freezable helpers, this reduces the
    time and energy required to suspend and resume.
