Proactive reclaim (triggered via memory.reclaim or node sysfs) checks for pending signals in its outer loop in user_proactive_reclaim(). However, the inner reclaim loops—specifically scanning cgroups in shrink_many() and evicting/aging folios in try_to_shrink_lruvec()—can run for a long time before returning to the outer loop, especially on systems with many cgroups or large memory sizes. During system suspend, the PM freezer attempts to freeze all tasks by sending fake signals (setting TIF_SIGPENDING). Because the inner loops do not check for pending signals, the proactive reclaim task can remain stuck in kernel space for seconds, failing to enter the refrigerator in a timely manner. This leads to suspend failures due to freeze timeouts, a behavior observed on Android devices. This latency issue is specific to proactive reclaim because of its large, user-defined reclaim targets (could be gigabytes). Since commit287d5fedb3("mm: memcg: use larger batches for proactive reclaim"), proactive reclaim uses larger decaying batch sizes (starting at 1/4 of the remaining target) to maintain throughput. This keeps the task in the inner reclaim loop for extended periods. In contrast, reactive reclaim (global/memcg) uses small targets (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, typically 32 pages), allowing it to return to the outer loop and check signals frequently. To fix this, add a signal_pending() check to should_abort_scan() for proactive reclaim paths. Since should_abort_scan() is called within the inner scanning and eviction loops, this allows proactive reclaim to abort early and return to the outer loop in user_proactive_reclaim(). Additionally, return -ERESTARTSYS instead of -EINTR in user_proactive_reclaim(). When interrupted by system suspend, returning -ERESTARTSYS allows the task to enter the refrigerator and automatically restart the syscall upon resume, making the freezer transparent to userspace. For real signals, the signal layer will either restart the syscall (if SA_RESTART is set) or return -EINTR to userspace. This fix specifically targets Multi-Gen LRU (MGLRU). Classic LRU's scan targets per iteration are strictly bounded by get_scan_count(), which ensures it returns to the outer loop more frequently. The check in should_abort_scan() is limited to proactive reclaim (sc->proactive) to avoid inadvertently affecting reactive reclaim paths, and is wrapped in unlikely() as it is a slow path.
