[PATCH RFC smp] Provide boot-time timeout for CSD lock diagnostics
Posted by Paul E. McKenney 4 years, 3 months ago
Debugging of problems involving insanely long-running SMI handlers
proceeds better if the CSD-lock timeout can be adjusted.  This commit
therefore provides a new smp.csd_lock_timeout kernel boot parameter
that specifies the timeout in milliseconds.  The default remains at the
previously hard-coded value of five seconds.
