From: Aaron Tomlin <atom...@redhat.com> When khungtaskd detects hung tasks, it prints out backtraces from a number of those tasks. Sometimes the information on why things are stuck is hidden in those backtraces. Limiting the number of backtraces being printed out can result in the user not seeing the information necessary to debug the issue. This patch introduces an option to print an unlimited number of backtraces when khungtaskd detects hung tasks.
While ULONG_MAX is practically "inf", this patch takes it one step further. Note: The maximum is now 2^31-1 (INT_MAX) which should hopefully be sufficient. Rebased against v3.13-rc8.
