If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ Content-Length: 1649 Lines: 48 From: Mandeep Singh Baines <msb@...omium.org> 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.
