From 742734eea0cf5314cde5945963ed964be167bd84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:43:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: add boot parameter to suppress RCU CPU stall warning messages Although the RCU CPU stall warning messages are a very good way to alert people to a problem, once alerted, it is sometimes helpful to shut them off in order to avoid obscuring other messages that might be being used to track down the problem. Although you can rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_DETECTOR=n, this is sometimes inconvenient. This commit therefore adds a boot parameter named "rcu_cpu_stall_suppress" that shuts these messages off without requiring a rebuild (though a reboot might be needed for those not brave enough to patch their kernel while it is running). This message-suppression was already in place for the panic case, so this commit need only rename the variable and export it via module_param(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.
