Currently CSD lock debugging can be switched on and off via a kernel config option only. Unfortunately there is at least one problem with CSD lock handling pending for about 2 years now, which has been seen in different environments (mostly when running virtualized under KVM or Xen, at least once on bare metal). Multiple attempts to catch this issue have finally led to introduction of CSD lock debug code, but this code is not in use in most distros as it has some impact on performance. In order to be able to ship kernels with CONFIG_CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG enabled even for production use, add a boot parameter for switching the debug functionality on. This will reduce any performance impact of the debug coding to a bare minimum when not being used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
