From b08ea1de6a8f8929c7dafd6f708799365fa90c11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2020 13:52:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Mark obtuse portion of stall warning as internal debug There is a rather obtuse string that can be printed as part of an expedited RCU CPU stall-warning message that starts with "blocking rcu_node structures". Under normal conditions, most of this message is just repeating the list of CPUs blocking the current expedited grace period, but in a manner that is rather difficult to read. This commit therefore marks this message as "(internal RCU debug)" in an effort to give people the option of avoiding wasting time attempting to extract nonexistent additional meaning from this portion of the message.
