Re: [RFC] hung_task:add detecting task in D state milliseconds timeout

[yang che]

  my understanding, KernelShark can't trigger panic, hung_task can
trigger. According to my use,
sometimes need to trigger panic to grab ramdump to analyze lock and
memory problems.
So I want to increase this millisecond support.
