Hi Paul, Thank you for the review. Agree with that.
Hopefully this one looks better (untested):
```
static void rcuc_kthread_dump(struct rcu_data *rdp)
{
int cpu;
unsigned long j;
struct task_struct *rcuc;

rcuc = rdp->rcu_cpu_kthread_task;
if (!rcuc)
return;

cpu = task_cpu(rcuc);
if (cpu_is_offline(cpu) || idle_cpu(cpu))
return;

if (!rcu_is_rcuc_kthread_starving(rdp, &j))
return;

pr_err("%s kthread starved for %ld jiffies\n", rcuc->comm, j);
sched_show_task(rcuc);
if (!trigger_single_cpu_backtrace(cpu))
dump_cpu_task(cpu);
}
```

Recall that dump_cpu_task looks like this:
```
void dump_cpu_task(int cpu)
{
pr_info("Task dump for CPU %d:\n", cpu);
sched_show_task(cpu_curr(cpu));
}
```
which already tells us it's a dump, so "stack dump" in the pr_err()
can be omitted. Any comment, Zqiang?
