 * hung_task_mutex.c - Sample code which causes hung task by mutex

 * Usage: load this module and read `<debugfs>/hung_task/mutex`
 *        by 2 or more processes.
 *
 * This is for testing kernel hung_task error message.
 * Note that this will make your system freeze and maybe
 * cause panic. So do not use this except for the test.
