From 316d9679f33caf7e683471647d1472bfe133d858 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:06:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Don't trigger softlockup detector on network fs blocked tasks Pulling the ethernet cable on a 2.6.27-rc system with NFS mounts currently leads to an ongoing flood of soft lockup detector backtraces for all tasks blocked on the NFS mounts when the hickup takes longer than 120s. I don't think NFS problems should be all that noisy. Luckily there's a reasonably easy way to distingush this case. Don't report task softlockup warnings for tasks in TASK_KILLABLE state, which is used by the network file systems. I believe this patch is a 2.6.27 candidate.
