Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] samples: enhance hung_task detector test with rtmutex support
Date: Sat,  8 Aug 2026 21:02:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4991cd8e1bbddb42a1fe31dde38f85d74ff1c4cc.1786193045.git.ruipengqi3@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1786193045.git.ruipengqi3@gmail.com>

From: Ruipeng Qi <ruipengqi3@gmail.com>

Extend the hung_task detector test module with an rtmutex test. When
CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES is enabled, the module creates an additional "rtmutex"
debugfs file under <debugfs>/hung_task.  Concurrent reads hold and
contend on an rtmutex for 256 seconds, allowing hung-task and blocker
reporting to be tested for rtmutex waits.

Usage is:

        > cd /sys/kernel/debug/hung_task
        > cat rtmutex & cat rtmutex

Update the module usage comments and Kconfig description to document the
rtmutex debugfs file.
