		// freeze a cgroup v1 while new processes keep appearing in it
		// (either via fork/clone or by writing new PIDs to
		// cgroup.procs).

		// The numbers below are empirically chosen to have a decent
		// chance to succeed in various scenarios ("runc pause/unpause
		// with parallel runc exec" and "bare freeze/unfreeze on a very
		// slow system"), tested on RHEL7 and Ubuntu 20.04 kernels.

		// increase the chances of successful freeze in "pause/unpause
		// with parallel exec" reproducer. OTOH, adding an occasional
		// sleep helped for the case where the system is extremely slow
		// (CentOS 7 VM on GHA CI).
