I've long hated the non-killability of tasks accessing a dead
NFS server. Linus had an idea for fixing this way back in 2002:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0208.0/0167.html which
I've prototyped in this patch.
Splitting up TASK_* into separate bits is going to need a lot more
auditing, I think. It was easier back in 2002, but since then we've added
TASK_STOPPED and TASK_TRACED which also need to be gingerly checked for.
There's some debug code left in here to discourage Linus from just
applying it.
I've only added one real user of the killable concept to this patch --
try_lock_page(). However, this is enough for 'cat */*/*' to be killable
with a ^C when I unplug the ethernet cord between it and the nfs server.
I have another version of this patch which makes TASK_KILLABLE a separate
state on par with TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, but I
don't like it as much as this one. I'll post it if there's demand.
