Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] samples: extend hung_task detector test with semaphore support
Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 22:59:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250414145945.84916-4-ioworker0@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250414145945.84916-1-ioworker0@gmail.com>

From: Zi Li <amaindex@outlook.com>

Extend the existing hung_task detector test module to support multiple lock
types, including mutex and semaphore, with room for future additions (e.g.,
spinlock, etc.). This module creates dummy files under <debugfs>/hung_task,
such as 'mutex' and 'semaphore'. The read process on any of these files
will sleep for enough long time (256 seconds) while holding the respective
lock. As a result, the second process will wait on the lock for a prolonged
duration and be detected by the hung_task detector.

This change unifies the previous mutex-only sample into a single,
extensible hung_task_tests module, reducing code duplication and improving
maintainability.

Usage is:

	> cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task
	> cat mutex & cat mutex          # Test mutex blocking
	> cat semaphore & cat semaphore  # Test semaphore blocking

Update the Kconfig description to reflect multiple debugfs files support.
