[PATCH v10 2/2] hung_task: Log summary line when warning budget is exhausted
From: Aaron Tomlin
Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 10:54:19 EST
Once the warning budget is exhausted, hung_task_info() normally stops
printing per-task details. When panic is triggered, full details are
still printed so diagnostics remain available before panic.
To retain visibility without restoring per-task output after budget
exhaustion, emit a single aggregate summary line at the end of each
watchdog scan that detects hung tasks with an exhausted budget. This
keeps non-panic per-task reports budgeted during system-wide hangs.
