[PATCH] kernel/hung_task.c: Use continuously blocked time when reporting.
From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Tue Feb 26 2019 - 04:58:10 EST
Since commit a2e514453861dd39 ("kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking
interval separately from timeout") added hung_task_check_interval_secs,
setting a value different from hung_task_timeout_secs
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic
echo 120 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs
echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_interval_secs
causes confusing output as if the task was blocked for
hung_task_timeout_secs seconds from the previous report.
[ 399.395930] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 405.027637] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 410.659725] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 416.292860] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 421.932305] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
Although we could update t->last_switch_time after sched_show_task(t) if
we want to report only every 120 seconds, reporting every 5 seconds might
not be very bad for monitoring after a problematic situation has started.
Thus, let's use continuously blocked time instead of updating previously
reported time.
[ 677.985011] INFO: task kswapd0:80 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
[ 693.856126] INFO: task kswapd0:80 blocked for more than 138 seconds.
[ 709.728075] INFO: task kswapd0:80 blocked for more than 154 seconds.

[ 741.473133] INFO: task kswapd0:80 blocked for more than 186 seconds.
