The code can potentially sleep for an indefinite amount of time in zap_pid_ns_processes triggering the hung task timeout, and increasing the system average. This is undesirable. Sleep with a task state of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to remove these undesirable side effects. Apparently under heavy load this has been allowing Chrome to trigger the hung time task timeout error and cause ChromeOS to reboot.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
