From: Kunwu Chan <[email protected]> RCU stall warnings currently print task states as raw hexadecimal values, requiring developers to manually decode them. Use task_state_to_char() so that stall warnings show the same symbolic task-state representation used elsewhere in the kernel. For example: ->state=0x402 becomes ->state=I ->state=0x0 becomes ->state=R ->state=0x2 becomes ->state=D This improves readability while preserving the underlying diagnostic information.
