On RCU tasks trace stall, inspect the RCU-tasks-trace specific
states of stalled task in locked down state, using try_invoke_
on_locked_down_task(), to get reliable trc state of a non-running
stalled task.

Queued for further review and testing, thank you!

Along those lines, what did you do to test this?  I would like to
add that to the commit message.  (The usual approach is to use the
rcutorture.stall_cpu module parameter, in case I have not yet passed
that along.)


Before sending the patch, I had tested with TRACE01 and adding long delay before rcu_read_unlock_trace() in tasks_tracing_torture_read_unlock()

static void tasks_tracing_torture_read_unlock(int idx)
{
        rcu_read_unlock_trace();
}

I retested with below commandline (without adding delay in tasks_tracing_torture_read_unlock()):

tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh --cpus 8 --configs TRACE01 --bootargs "rcutorture.torture_type=tasks-tracing rcutorture.stall_cpu=10 rcutorture.stall_cpu_block=1 rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_timeout=100" --trust-make

With this, I can see stalls for both RUNNING and WAITING state task:
