Subject: [PATCH] rcuscale: Move schedule_timeout _uninterruptible to _idle in rcu_scale_writer()
Date:   Fri, 16 Jun 2023 15:39:26 +0800
Message-Id: <20230616073926.24462-1-qiang.zhang1211@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

The rcuscale.holdoff can be used to delay the start of rcu_scale_writer
kthread, however, if the rcuscale.holdoff is set and the timeout is greater
than the hung_task_timeout_secs, can trigger the hung-task timeout:

runqemu kvm nographic slirp qemuparams="-smp 4 -m 2048M"
bootparams="rcuscale.shutdown=0 rcuscale.holdoff=300"

This commit therefore replaces schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() with
schedule_timeout_idle().
