Lance's patch is probably more appropriate for -stable than the patch I
proposed -- assuming a fix is needed for -stable.
Thanks!
Apart from that, I believe this fix is still needed for the hung task
detector itself, to prevent unnecessary warnings in a few unexpected
cases.
Besides those two alternatives, there is also a workaround:
$ ./scripts/config -d DETECT_HUNG_TASK_BLOCKER
which may be acceptable to the interested parties (i.e. m68k users).
I don't have a preference. I'll leave it up to the bug reporters (Eero and
Geert).
