Getting back to the $Subject at hand, are people OK with proceeding with Lance's original fix?
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.
Can you be more specific about those cases? A fix for a theoretical bug doesn't qualify for -stable branches. But if it's a fix for a real bug, I have misunderstood Andrew's question...
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).
