Since commit a2e514453861 ("kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking
interval separately from timeout") added hung_task_check_interval_secs,
setting a value different from hung_task_timeout_secs
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic
echo 120 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs
echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_interval_secs
causes confusing output as if the task was blocked for
hung_task_timeout_secs seconds from the previous report.
[ 399.395930] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 405.027637] INFO: task kswapd0:75 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Although we could update t->last_switch_time after sched_show_task(t) if
we want to report only every 120 seconds, reporting every 5 seconds
might not be very bad for monitoring after a problematic situation has
started. Thus, let's use continuously blocked time instead of updating
previously reported time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
