Subject: net: allow to kill a task which waits net_mutex in copy_new_ns
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7281a66590cbc284272e18cb4acbfb88ddaa4cd8;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

net: allow to kill a task which waits net_mutex in copy_new_ns

net_mutex can be locked for a long time. It may be because many
namespaces are being destroyed or many processes decide to create
a network namespace.

Both these operations are heavy, so it is better to have an ability to
kill a process which is waiting net_mutex.
