 * hung_task_tests.c - Sample code for testing hung tasks with mutex,

 *
 * Usage: Load this module and read `<debugfs>/hung_task/mutex`,
 *        `<debugfs>/hung_task/semaphore`, etc., with 2 or more processes.
 *
 * This is for testing kernel hung_task error messages with various locking
 * mechanisms (e.g., mutex, semaphore, etc.). Note that this may freeze
 * your system or cause a panic. Use only for testing purposes.
