Related, please can we have a flag for the sleep and/or process so that
an uninterruptible sleep doesn't trigger the 'hung task' detector

TASK_KILLABLE

Not sure that does what I want.
It appears to allow some 'kill' actions to wake the process.
I'm sure I've looked at the 'hung task' code since 2007.

and also stops the process counting towards the 'load average'.

TASK_NOLOAD

Ah, that was added in May 2015.
Not surprising I didn't know about it.

I'll leave the code doing:
  set_current_state(signal_pending(current) ? TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE ? TASK_I=
NTERRUPTIBLE);
for a while longer.
