Subject: [PATCH RFC 07/10] rcu-tasks: Dump rtpcp->lazy_timer status in show_rcu_tasks_generic_gp_kthread()
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 18:03:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731010401.3531631-7-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c50fb3e6-8d9f-4311-953e-a4703ba1e863@paulmck-laptop>

From: Zqiang <qiang.zhang@linux.dev>

Add 'P' flag to the diagnostic line to indicate whether any per-cpu
rtpcp's lazy_timer is pending.  this helps diagnose stalls where
rcu-task callbacks are queued but the kthread stay sleep because
the lazy_timer has not yet fired and no grace period has started.

The output is as follows:

[   31.319540][   T77] call_rcu_tasks() has failed boot-time tests.
[   31.320205][   T77] rcu_tasks: RTGS_WAIT_CBS(11) since 7518 g:4 i:0 kCuUP l:150000
