Just to clarify the hang scenario I am talking about, the test case I
used to reproduce
this problem is attached to this email.
Running this a few times hangs my console and then even Ctrl-C signals
do not get handled
and I also do not get back the command prompt.
After applying this patch things seem to improve, but there are still
some hangs which I
encounter which I am further trying to debug.
However, since the generic part of the kernel(mm/filemap.c) now
supports killable and
retryable page fault handling, I thought that this change would be
valid for MIPS too.
