Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] hung_task: Introduce helper for hung task warning
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 22:00:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251216030036.1822217-2-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251216030036.1822217-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>
Consolidate the multi-line console output block for reporting a hung
task into a new helper function, hung_task_diagnostics(). This improves
readability in the main check_hung_task() loop and makes the diagnostic
output structure easier to maintain and update in the future.
