Subject: Re: [PATCH] kernel/hung_task.c: printk address for hung_task

Xinhui:
      when I got a  DDR dump, with the task_struct address for this
task, I can see what file this task is accessing, as well as
task_struct member.
      this is very useful and popular on arch where we can generate a
DDR dump when system crash.
