Subject: [PATCH v8 2/2] hung_task: Always print basic hung task info header
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 16:20:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804202050.262427-3-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804202050.262427-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>
Once the warning budget is exhausted, hung_task_info() stops printing any
per-task message. Detection still increments hung_task_detect_count and
emits trace_sched_process_hang(), but dmesg no longer shows which task is
blocked.
Move the "INFO: task ... blocked" line outside the budget check. Keep the
rest of the per-task report budgeted and update the exhaustion message
accordingly.
