Acknowledged.

I see that when CONFIG_PSI is enabled a further option then becomes available, namely CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED.

The help for that latter option states --

"If set, pressure stall information tracking will be disabled
per default but can be enabled through passing psi=1 on the
kernel commandline during boot."

As I do not have any knowledge or experience of pressure stall information tracking, I wonder if configuring the second option would be a good idea.

Do you have any opinion, please?

Hello burakkucat,

i do not have any knowledge or experience of pressure stall information tracking either.
I think it would be the best to set CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED=1.So everybody can decide on your own if you want to enable psi via passing psi=1 on the kernel commandline.

Thank you. So we are in agreement.

The configuration changes, CONFIG_PSI=y and CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED=y, have now been queued for the next build of the kernel-ml package set.

With the recent release of the kernel-ml-4.20.1-1.el7.elrepo package set [1] this configuration modification has been fulfilled.

Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
