Can you please explain a purpose > and benefit? Hi: Sorry about the spam. This is a patch that I was preparing to send upstream but not ready yet. I don't know why it got sent out ( must be myself did something wrong on my keyboard ) . In a short, this eliminate the duplication of task stack trace in dump messages. The problem w/ fixed size of dmesg ring buffer limits how many task trace to be logged. When the duplication remains high, we lose important information. This patch reduces the duplication by dumping the first task stack trace only for contiguous duplications. I will prepare it later with full commit description.
