Since commit a2e514453861dd39 ("kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking
interval separately from timeout") added hung_task_check_interval_secs,
setting a value different from hung_task_timeout_secsecho 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic echo 120 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_interval_secs causes confusing output as if the task was blocked for hung_task_timeout_secs seconds from the previous report. [ 399.395930] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 405.027637] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 410.659725] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 416.292860] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 421.932305] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Although we could update t->last_switch_time after sched_show_task(t) if we want to report only every 120 seconds, reporting every 5 seconds might not be very bad for monitoring after a problematic situation has started. Thus, let's use continuously blocked time instead of updating previously reported time. [ 677.985011] INFO: task kswapd0:80 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
