Subject: NFS: Fix a potential busy wait in nfs_page_group_lock
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f868089b09b51bd17ee41dedb96f98a1d0952fec;p=linux-beck.git

NFS: Fix a potential busy wait in nfs_page_group_lock

We cannot allow nfs_page_group_lock to use TASK_KILLABLE here, since
the loop would cause a busy wait if somebody kills the task.
