The state SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_CALL is only used in srcu_gp_start_if_needed(). And it is not needed. Because counter_wrap_check has guarantee that both srcu_gp_seq_needed and srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp are not far behind srcu_gp_seq and no false alarm will be raised by the statement in srcu_gp_start_if_needed() ULONG_CMP_LT(sdp->srcu_gp_seq_needed, s) As a result, once if SRCU_SIZE_WAIT_BARRIER is seen, the tree snp can be used immediately, not need to wait for another srcu_gp_end() to update the srcu_gp_seq_needed and srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp to avoid false alarm.
