Subject[PATCH v3 3/4] sched.h: extend task comm from 16 to 24 for CONFIG_BASE_FULL
Date
When I was implementing a new per-cpu kthread cfs_migration, I found the
comm of it "cfs_migration/%u" is truncated due to the limitation of
TASK_COMM_LEN. For example, the comm of the percpu thread on CPU10~19 are
all with the same name "cfs_migration/1", which will confuse the user. This
issue is not critical, because we can get the corresponding CPU from the
task's Cpus_allowed. But for kthreads correspoinding to other hardware
devices, it is not easy to get the detailed device info from task comm,
for example,

jbd2/nvme0n1p2-
xfs-reclaim/sdf

We can also shorten the name to work around this problem, but I find
there are so many truncated kthreads:

rcu_tasks_kthre
rcu_tasks_rude_
rcu_tasks_trace
poll_mpt3sas0_s
ext4-rsv-conver
xfs-reclaim/sd{a, b, c, ...}
xfs-blockgc/sd{a, b, c, ...}
xfs-inodegc/sd{a, b, c, ...}
audit_send_repl
ecryptfs-kthrea
vfio-irqfd-clea
jbd2/nvme0n1p2-
...

We should improve this problem fundamentally.

This patch extends the size of task comm to 24 bytes, which is the
same length with workqueue's, for the CONFIG_BASE_FULL case. And for the
CONFIG_BASE_SMALL case, the size of task comm is still kept as 16 bytes.
