Hi, Paul

+  if (!rcu_segcblist_empty(&rtpcp->cblist) &&
!WARN_ON_ONCE(!rtp->lazy_jiffies))

I've done tests like this:

1. runqemu nographic kvm slirp qemuparams="-smp 4 -m 2048M -drive
file=$PWD/share.img,if=virtio"
bootparams="rcupdate.rcu_tasks_trace_lazy_ms=0" -d

2.  insmod torture.ko
     insmod rcutorture.ko torture_type=tasks-tracing fwd_progress=4

3. bpftrace -e 't:timer:timer_expire_entry /args->function ==
kaddr("call_rcu_tasks_generic_timer")/
                                            {
printf("comm:%s,cpu:%d,stack:%s,func:%s\n", comm, cpu, kstack,
ksym(args->function)); }'

The call_rcu_tasks_generic_timer() has never been executed.

Thanks
Zqiang
