Subject: [PATCH rcu 6/6] rcu: Allow up to five minutes expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts
Date: Wed,  4 Jan 2023 16:51:26 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230105005126.1772294-6-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230105005105.GA1772125@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

The maximum value of RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts has historically been
five minutes (300 seconds).  However, the recently introduced expedited
RCU CPU stall-warning timeout is instead limited to 21 seconds.  This
causes problems for CI/fuzzing services such as syzkaller by obscuring
the issue in question with expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout splats.

This commit therefore sets the RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT Kconfig options
upper bound to 300000 milliseconds, which is 300 seconds and 5 minutes.

[ paulmck: Apply feedback from Hillf Danton. ]
