[PATCH] locking/hung_task: Defer showing held locks

Show all headers | View raw

When I was running my testcase which may block hundreds of threads
on fs locks, I got lockup due to output from debug_show_all_locks()
added by commit b2d4c2edb2e4f89a ("locking/hung_task: Show all locks").

I think we don't need to call debug_show_all_locks() on each blocked
thread. Let's defer calling debug_show_all_locks() till before panic()
or leaving for_each_process_thread() loop.
