Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 11/20] rcu: More clearly identify grace-period kthread stack dump
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 13:53:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1519681990-31349-11-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180226215219.GA27379@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

It is not always obvious that the stack dump from a starved grace-period
kthread isn't instead that of a CPU stalling the current grace period.
This commit therefore adds a pr_err() flagging these dumps.
