The patch titled
Subject: audit: wait_for_auditd() should use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
audit-wait_for_auditd-should-use-task_uninterruptible.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: audit: wait_for_auditd() should use TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
audit_log_start() does wait_for_auditd() in a loop until
audit_backlog_wait_time passes or audit_skb_queue has a room.
If signal_pending() is true this becomes a busy-wait loop, schedule() in
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE won't block.
Thanks to Guy for fully investigating and explaining the problem.
(akpm: that'll cause the system to lock up on a non-preemptible
uniprocessor kernel)
(Guy: "Our customer was in fact running a uniprocessor machine, and they
reported a system hang.")
