Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-22 Severity: normal Recently, I've had a problem with tasks that apparently get hung on a syscall. For example: Oct 8 02:57:54 lakeview kernel: [84840.484280] INFO: task Xorg:4560 blocked for more than 120 seconds. When this occurs, even "sudo kill -9 4560" does not work. The kernel should properly and immediately terminate processes receiving a SIGKILL as root, even (especially) if that process is hung on a syscall. The inability to do this means that the machine becomes unusable when Xorg hangs. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
