This series introduces the ability to reset /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count. Writing a "0" value to this file atomically resets the counter of detected hung tasks. This functionality provides system administrators with the means to clear the cumulative diagnostic history following incident resolution, thereby simplifying subsequent monitoring without necessitating a system restart. This patch (of 3): The check_hung_task() function currently conflates two distinct responsibilities: validating whether a task is hung and handling the subsequent reporting (printing warnings, triggering panics, or tracepoints). This patch refactors the logic by introducing hung_task_info(), a function dedicated solely to reporting. The actual detection check, task_is_hung(), is hoisted into the primary loop within check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks(). This separation clearly decouples the mechanism of detection from the policy of reporting. Furthermore, to facilitate future support for concurrent hung task detection, the global sysctl_hung_task_detect_count variable is converted from unsigned long to atomic_long_t. Consequently, the counting logic is updated to accumulate the number of hung tasks locally (this_round_count) during the iteration. The global counter is then updated atomically via atomic_long_cmpxchg_relaxed() once the loop concludes, rather than incrementally during the scan. These changes are strictly preparatory and introduce no functional change to the system's runtime behaviour.
