[PATCH] hung_task: show all locks

From: Vegard Nossum
Date: Thu Aug 18 2016 - 22:02:18 EST


When we get a hung task it can often be valuable to see _all_ the held
locks on the system (in case we are being blocked on trying to acquire
one), e.g. with this patch we can immediately see where the problem is
below:

INFO: task trinity-c3:14933 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Not tainted 4.8.0-rc1+ #135
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
