+Stall Warnings for Expedited Grace Periods
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If an expedited grace period detects a stall, it will place a message
|
|
|
+like the following in dmesg:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs: { 1 2 6 } 26009 jiffies s: 1043
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This indicates that CPUs 1, 2, and 6 have failed to respond to a
|
|
|
+reschedule IPI, that the expedited grace period has been going on for
|
|
|
+26,009 jiffies, and that the expedited grace-period sequence counter is
|
|
|
+1043. The fact that this last value is odd indicates that an expedited
|
|
|
+grace period is in flight.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It is entirely possible to see stall warnings from normal and from
|
|
|
+expedited grace periods at about the same time from the same run.
