As sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec is unsigned long, when this value is
larger then LONG_MAX/HZ, the function schedule_timeout_interruptible in
watchdog will return immediately without sleep and with print :
[ 205.452934] schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83
and then the funtion watchdog will call schedule_timeout_interruptible again
and again. The screen will be filled with
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83"
This patch does some check and correction in timeout_jiffies, to let the
function schedule_timeout_interruptible allways get the valid parameter.

You should check whether sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec > MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT/HZ
or not when setting this parameter instead. Then this check ins't necessary here.
# Just FYI, MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT should be MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT/HZ here.

I confirmed the followings.
- 3.14-rc8: system hunged up with "hung_task_timeout_secs > LONG_MAX/HZ".
- 3.14-rc8 with your patch: works fine. I can't set the above mentioned value any more.
Writing possible values (0..LONG_MAX/HZ) in Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt
make this patch better.

Thanks to you attention and suggestion. I remade this patch as following.
Is it appropriate to be reposted with tag "PATCH v3"
Subject: [PATCH v3] hung_task : check the value of "sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec"
As sysctl_hung_task_timeout_sec is unsigned long, when this value is
larger then LONG_MAX/HZ, the function schedule_timeout_interruptible in
watchdog will return immediately without sleep and with print :
[ 205.452934] schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83
and then the funtion watchdog will call schedule_timeout_interruptible
again and again. The screen will be filled with
"schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value ffffffffffffff83"
This patch does some check and correction in sysctl, to let the
function schedule_timeout_interruptible allways get the valid parameter.
