+	help
+	  This option controls the default timeout (in seconds) used
+	  to determine when a task has become non-responsive and should
+	  be considered hung.
+
+	  It can be adjusted at runtime via the kernel.hung_task_timeout
+	  sysctl or by writing a value to /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout.
+
+	  A timeout of 0 disables the check.  The default is two minutes.
+	  Keeping the default should be fine in most cases.
