Hi Paul

Thank you for your perfect patch!

After apply your patch, I invoke
"tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/torture.sh --duration 10" on
next-20220125. we succeed in allmodconfig!

Following are the test logs (154.223.142.244 is my own internet cloud
server maintained by myself, I believe it is safe to access the text
content via web, but not so sure)

1. torture log
http://154.223.142.244/logs/20220127/2022.01.26-19.43.04.log (there
are many Chinese words "Thursday" in it because I forget to set
terminal locale to English, I am sorry), I excerpt some content here:

All of the console.log.diags complain about one thing:

I am glad to study these warnings further but they don't seem to be
related to this patch.

Thanks again
