4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebied...@xmission.com>
commit b9a985db98961ae1ba0be169f19df1c567e4ffe0 upstream.
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.
