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.

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).
