+CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT
+--------------------------------
+
+ Same as the CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT parameter but only for
+ the expedited grace period. This parameter defines the period
+ of time that RCU will wait from the beginning of an expedited
+ grace period until it issues an RCU CPU stall warning. This time
+ period is normally 20 milliseconds on Android devices. A zero
+ value causes the CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT value to be used,
+ after conversion to milliseconds.
+
+ This configuration parameter may be changed at runtime via the
+ /sys/module/rcupdate/parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout, however
+ this parameter is checked only at the beginning of a cycle. If you
+ are in a current stall cycle, setting it to a new value will change
+ the timeout for the -next- stall.
+
+ Stall-warning messages may be enabled and disabled completely via
+ /sys/module/rcupdate/parameters/rcu_cpu_stall_suppress.
