[PATCH] Documentation: document hung_task_panic kernel parameter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@xxxxxx>

This parameter has been around since commit e162b39a368f ("softlockup:
decouple hung tasks check from softlockup detection") in 2009 but was
never documented.
