Subject: samples: add hung_task detector mutex blocking sample
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:02:43 +0900

Add a hung_task detector mutex blocking test sample code.

This module will create a dummy file on the debugfs.  That file will cause
the read process to sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding
a mutex.  As a result, the second process will wait on the mutex for a
prolonged duration and be detected by the hung_task detector.

Usage is;

 > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task
 > cat mutex & cat mutex

and wait for hung_task message.
