Subject: rcu: More clearly identify grace-period kthread stack dump
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d07aee2c035e04dce11209a870b48091a47bd04a;p=linux.git

rcu: More clearly identify grace-period kthread stack dump

It is not always obvious that the stack dump from a starved grace-period
kthread isn't instead that of a CPU stalling the current grace period.
This commit therefore adds a pr_err() flagging these dumps.
