Lance Yang 03ecb24db2 hung_task: add detect count for hung tasks
Patch series "add detect count for hung tasks", v2.

This patchset adds a counter, hung_task_detect_count, to track the number
of times hung tasks are detected.  

IHMO, hung tasks are a critical metric.  Currently, we detect them by
periodically parsing dmesg.  However, this method isn't as user-friendly
as using a counter.

Sometimes, a short-lived issue with NIC or hard drive can quickly decrease
the hung_task_warnings to zero.  Without warnings, we must directly access
the node to ensure that there are no more hung tasks and that the system
has recovered.  After all, load average alone cannot provide a clear
picture.

Once this counter is in place, in a high-density deployment pattern, we
plan to set hung_task_timeout_secs to a lower number to improve stability,
even though this might result in false positives.  And then we can set a
time-based threshold: if hung tasks last beyond this duration, we will
automatically migrate containers to other nodes.  Based on past
experience, this approach could help avoid many production disruptions.

Moreover, just like other important events such as OOM that already have
counters, having a dedicated counter for hung tasks makes sense ;)


This patch (of 2):

This commit adds a counter, hung_task_detect_count, to track the number of
times hung tasks are detected.

IHMO, hung tasks are a critical metric. Currently, we detect them by
periodically parsing dmesg. However, this method isn't as user-friendly as
using a counter.

Sometimes, a short-lived issue with NIC or hard drive can quickly decrease
the hung_task_warnings to zero. Without warnings, we must directly access
the node to ensure that there are no more hung tasks and that the system
has recovered. After all, load average alone cannot provide a clear
picture.

Once this counter is in place, in a high-density deployment pattern, we
plan to set hung_task_timeout_secs to a lower number to improve stability,
even though this might result in false positives. And then we can set a
time-based threshold: if hung tasks last beyond this duration, we will
automatically migrate containers to other nodes. Based on past experience,
this approach could help avoid many production disruptions.

Moreover, just like other important events such as OOM that already have
counters, having a dedicated counter for hung tasks makes sense.
