hung_task_check_interval_secs

file: /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_check_interval_secs
variable: kernel.hung_task_check_interval_secs
Official reference

Hung task check interval. If hung task checking is enabled (see hung_task_timeout_secs), the check is done every hung_task_check_interval_secs seconds. This file shows up if CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK is enabled.

0 (default) means use hung_task_timeout_secs as checking interval.

Possible values to set are in range {0:LONG_MAX/HZ}.
