From 2ccaff10f71307ad4f75ce673b815d3fe6254e3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2018 12:32:06 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Add sysrq rcu_node-dump capability Life is hard if RCU manages to get stuck without triggering RCU CPU stall warnings or triggering the rcu_check_gp_start_stall() checks for failing to start a grace period. This commit therefore adds a boot-time-selectable sysrq key (commandeering "y") that allows manually dumping Tree RCU state. The new rcutree.sysrq_rcu kernel boot parameter must be set for this sysrq to be available. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
