From 17406b82d621930cca8ccc1272cdac9a7dae8e40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mandeep Singh Baines Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 15:37:47 -0800 Subject: softlockup: remove timestamp checking from hung_task Impact: saves sizeof(long) bytes per task_struct By guaranteeing that sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs have elapsed between tasklist scans we can avoid using timestamps.
