Subject: [PATCH] lib/sys_info: avoid showing locks info twice in __sys_info
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 23:14:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113151451.72419-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)

In __sys_info(), if the si_mask has both SYS_INFO_TASKS and SYS_INFO_LOCKS,
the locks info will be printed twice: debug_show_all_locks() is also
called inner show_state().

Since commit
8b2b9b4f6f4f ("hung_task: add hung_task_sys_info sysctl to dump sys info on task-hung"),
hung_task will print locks info twice when
sysctl -w kernel.hung_task_sys_info="tasks,locks".

To avoid showing locks info again, check '!(si_mask & SYS_INFO_TASKS)'
when checking 'si_mask & SYS_INFO_LOCKS' in __sys_info().
