Subject: [PATCH v9 2/2] hung_task: Log summary line when warning budget is exhausted
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 09:57:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814135718.494513-3-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814135718.494513-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>

Once the warning budget is exhausted, hung_task_info() stops printing
per-task details. To provide visibility without causing additional log
spam, emit a single aggregate summary line at the end of each watchdog
scan when hung tasks are detected and the warning budget is exhausted.

Keep per-task reports budgeted to avoid flooding dmesg or causing
ring buffer overflows during system-wide hangs.
