The maximum value of RCU CPU stall-warning timeouts has historically been five minutes (300 seconds). However, the recently introduced expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout is instead limited to 21 seconds. This causes problems for CI/fuzzing services such as syzkaller by obscuring the issue in question with expedited RCU CPU stall-warning timeout splats. This commit therefore sets the RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT Kconfig options upper bound to 300000 milliseconds, which is 300 seconds (AKA 5 minutes).

turned off since there are several list RCU users that still

false-positive splats, we keep it default disabled but once all

Select this option to build an RCU variant that is strict about
|
|
grace periods, making them as short as it can. This limits
|
|
scalability, destroys real-time response, degrades battery
|
|
lifetime and kills performance. Don't try this on large
|
|
machines, as in systems with more than about 10 or 20 CPUs.
|
|
But in conjunction with tools like KASAN, it can be helpful
|
|
when looking for certain types of RCU usage bugs, for example,
|
|
too-short RCU read-side critical sections.
