Hi,
I'm reading Mr. Robert Love's great book these days. This `D' is
mentioned in the book. What I want to know is whether a task waiting
with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag can be cleaned from the system. Would
it break anything? If the device comes back to the system, but some
lock is missing nowhere, should we allocate another one in the driver?
