From b4aa14a63cb3194d8eab355fcee194838ab09121 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:24:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel/hung_task.c: use timeout diff when timeout is updated When new timeout is written to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs, khungtaskd is interrupted and again sleeps for full timeout duration. This means that hang task will not be checked if new timeout is written periodically within old timeout duration and/or checking of hang task will be delayed for up to previous timeout duration. Fix this by remembering last time khungtaskd checked hang task. This change will allow other watchdog tasks (if any) to share khungtaskd by sleeping for minimal timeout diff of all watchdog tasks. Doing more watchdog tasks from khungtaskd will reduce the possibility of printk() collisions by multiple watchdog threads.
