Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] hangcheck-timer: coding style improvements
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 20:43:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111151340.9162-1-clintbgeorge@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025110649-elves-steadying-a4d0@gregkh>
This series improves coding style in hangcheck-timer:
Clint George (3):
hangcheck-timer: replace printk(KERN_CRIT) with pr_crit
hangcheck-timer: Replace %Ld with %lld

No functional changes were made to hangcheck logic.

Testing:
- Verified timer firing and margin detection using "hangtest" module that
i created (I will paste the code below for reference) and checked dmesg
logs for expected output: "Hangcheck: hangcheck value past margin!".
- Used Static Analysis tools
- Ensured module builds and inserts cleanly after changes.
Let me know any more tests need to be done on this module.
[] hangtest.c (testing module i created to test hangcheck-timer module):
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
MODULE_AUTHOR("Clint George");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Hang test for testing hangcheck-timer");
static int hang_duration = 20;
module_param(hang_duration, int, 0644);
static int __init hangtest_init(void) {
unsigned long timeout;
printk(KERN_INFO "hangtest: Disabling interrupts for %d seconds...\n", hang_duration);
local_irq_disable();
preempt_disable();
timeout = jiffies + (hang_duration * HZ);
while (time_before(jiffies, timeout)) {
cpu_relax();
barrier();
}
preempt_enable();
local_irq_enable();
printk(KERN_INFO "hangtest: Interrupts re-enabled\n");
// return 0;
return -EINVAL; // Return error so module doesn't stay loaded
}
static void __exit hangtest_exit(void) {
printk(KERN_INFO "hangtest: Exit\n");
}
module_init(hangtest_init);
module_exit(hangtest_exit);
