Subject: hung_task: fix false positive during vfork
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f9fab10bbd768b0e5254e53a4a8477a94bfc4b96;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

hung_task: fix false positive during vfork

vfork parent uninterruptibly and unkillably waits for its child to
exec/exit. This wait is of unbounded length. Ignore such waits
in the hung_task detector.
