I use several dd processes to write a slow SD card
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc4 bs=1M count=4000
and several sync commands(maybe > 10),dmesg show this:
[ 366.888741] INFO: task sync:3518 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 366.888742] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

fix this issue.
