From 39d67d758ca27dd3c182677c6700a539d2809480 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mandeep Singh Baines Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2012 14:41:13 -0800 Subject: hung_task: fix false positive during vfork commit f9fab10bbd768b0e5254e53a4a8477a94bfc4b96 upstream. vfork parent uninterruptibly and unkillably waits for its child to exec/exit. This wait is of unbounded length. Ignore such waits in the hung_task detector.
