- * It's not reliable to print a task's held locks if it's not sleeping
- * and it's not the current task.
+ * Note that it's always somewhat unreliable to print held locks
+ * of a task that is running on another CPU, but we cannot guarantee
+ * the stability of ->held_locks without actually stopping all active
+ * remote CPUs, which we absolutely do not want to do because it's
+ * very intrusive and thus slow.
+ *
+ * So we do the next best thing here: we print out the held lock
+ * array on a best-effort basis, without crashing even if the
+ * fields are being modified on another CPU. Note the careful
+ * construction of print_lock() so that it never crashes.
+ *
+ * We also print out the CPU the task is or was last running on, with
+ * the message saying 'on CPU...' if the task is running, and
+ * 'last CPU' if it's not.
+ *
+ * Also note that the task_is_running(p) information is fundamentally
+ * racy: even if the message says the task is 'on CPU', the task may
+ * have scheduled out already, or if it says 'last CPU', it may just
+ * have scheduled in on another CPU. But even with these limitations
+ * it's still useful debuggining information.
