 Therefore if we write 2^32 to sysctl.hung_task_check_count, hung task
 detection will be effectively disabled.

 Not a big deal, but still it's better to fix this inconsistency.

[PATCH] hung_task: change sysctl_hung_task_check_count to int

2013-09-13 Thread Li Zefan
As sysctl_hung_task_check_count is unsigned long, when this value is
assigned to max_count in check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks(), it's
truncated to int type.

Therefore if we write 2^32 to sysctl.hung_task_check_count, hung task
detection will be effectively disabled.

Not a big deal, but still it's better to fix this inconsistency.
