TASK_KILLABLE waiters are not reported by khungtaskd, are they?

  /* use "==" to skip the TASK_KILLABLE tasks waiting on NFS */
  if (t->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)
    check_hung_task(t, timeout);

And TASK_KILLABLE waiters can become a problem because

wait_event_killable() would return -ERESTARTSYS if got SIGKILL.
But if (c->status == Connected) && (type == P9_TFLUSH) is also true,
it ignores SIGKILL by retrying the loop...

  again:
    err = wait_event_killable(*req->wq, req->status >= REQ_STATUS_RCVD);
    if ((err == -ERESTARTSYS) && (c->status == Connected) && (type == P9_TFLUSH)) {
      sigpending = 1;
      clear_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING);
      goto again;
    }

I wish they don't ignore SIGKILL (by e.g. offloading operations to a kernel thread).
