Subject: [PATCH 3/9] rcu: Don't panic on already-ended RCU CPU stalls
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:28:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919002900.3134117-3-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7dc2d858-44cc-4efa-8e94-1fe27d691f2b@paulmck-laptop>
The current RCU CPU stall-warning code can say "INFO: Stall ended before
state dump start" but then panic the system anyway. This commit therefore
avoids panicking the system if the stall has already ended.
However, the sched_ext scheduler will still be ejected, as it might have
been the cause of the almost stall. This can easily be changed if needed.
