This is a known issue. Your patch is just a work-around though, and we should fix the underlying issue, rather than papering over it by changing it to an uninterruptible sleep. The chromium team ran into a similar issue, and we're having a conversation about the right way to fix it: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136944610123147&w=2 We'll try to Cc you on that conversation as it moves forward.
