Subject: [PATCH for-v7.5 4/5] rcu-tasks: Use pr_debug() for callback contend/collapse messages
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 19:49:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113004946.2758197-5-jfern@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113004946.2758197-1-jfern@kernel.org>

From: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>

Commit 5de907d24919 ("rcu-tasks: Disable callback contend/collapse
messages by default") added the rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_debug module
parameter to gate the three pr_info() messages that report RCU Tasks
switching between CPU-0 and per-CPU callback queuing.

The kernel already has a mechanism for debug-only messages that are off
by default: pr_debug().  Use pr_debug() for these messages, and remove
the rcu_task_collapse_debug module parameter, its documentation, and
its boot-time announcement.

The messages stay off by default.  On CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y kernels,
they can be enabled at boot with:

  dyndbg="file kernel/rcu/tasks.h +p"

or at runtime with:

  echo 'file kernel/rcu/tasks.h +p' > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
