Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rcuscale: Move rcu_scale_writer() schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() to _idle() The rcuscale.holdoff module parameter can be used to delay the start of rcu_scale_writer() kthread. However, the hung-task timeout will trigger when the timeout specified by rcuscale.holdoff is greater than hung_task_timeout_secs: runqemu kvm nographic slirp qemuparams="-smp 4 -m 2048M" bootparams="rcuscale.shutdown=0 rcuscale.holdoff=300" [ 247.071753] INFO: task rcu_scale_write:59 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
