[PATCH] kernel/hung_task.c: disable on suspend

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Thu Sep 13 2018 - 12:09:06 EST


It is possible to observe hung_task complaints when system goes to
suspend-to-idle state:

PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
OOM killer disabled.
Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.002 seconds) done.
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
INFO: task bash:1569 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Not tainted 4.19.0-rc3_+ #687
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
bash D 0 1569 604 0x00000000
Call Trace:
? __schedule+0x1fe/0x7e0
schedule+0x28/0x80
suspend_devices_and_enter+0x4ac/0x750
pm_suspend+0x2c0/0x310

Register a PM notifier to disable the detector on suspend and re-enable
back on wakeup.
