+ Say Y here to enable the kernel to panic when an RCU CPU stall
+ is detected.
+
+ The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
+ to cause the system to reboot automatically after an
+ RCU CPU stall has been detected. This feature is useful for
+ high-availability systems that have uptime guarantees and
+ where a CPU stall must be resolved ASAP.
+
+ The kernel.max_rcu_stall_to_panic sysctl can be used to set
+ a minimum number of stalls before panicking, allowing the
+ system to tolerate a given number of RCU CPU stalls before
+ triggering a panic.
+
+ This setting can be overridden at runtime via the
+ kernel.panic_on_rcu_stall sysctl parameter.
+
+ Say N if unsure.
