Subject: [PATCH 0/2] hung_task: Dump the blocking task stacktrace

Hi,

The hung_task detector is very useful for detecting the lockup.
However, since it only dumps the blocked (uninterruptible sleep)
processes, it is not enough to identify the root cause of that
lockup.

For example, if a process holds a mutex and sleep an event in
interruptible state long time, the other processes will wait on
the mutex in uninterruptible state. In this case, the waiter
processes are dumped, but the blocker process is not shown
because it is sleep in interruptible state.

This adds a feature to dump the blocker task which holds a mutex
when detecting a hung task. e.g.

 INFO: task cat:113 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
       Not tainted 6.14.0-rc3-00002-g6afe972e1b9b #152
 "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
