exit: Sleep at TASK_IDLE when waiting for application core dump
Currently, the coredump_task_exit() function sets the task state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE|TASK_FREEZABLE, which usually works well. But a combination of large memory and slow (and/or highly contended) mass storage can cause application core dumps to take more than two minutes, which can cause check_hung_task(), which is invoked by check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks(), to produce task-blocked splats. There does not seem to be any reasonable benefit to getting these splats. Furthermore, as Oleg Nesterov points out, TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE could be misleading because the task sleeping in coredump_task_exit() really is killable, albeit indirectly. See the check of signal->core_state in prepare_signal() and the check of fatal_signal_pending() in dump_interrupted(), which bypass the normal unkillability of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, resulting in coredump_finish() invoking wake_up_process() on any threads sleeping in coredump_task_exit(). Therefore, change that TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to TASK_IDLE. Reported-by: Anhad Jai Singh <ffledgling@meta.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
