From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8b9b443fa860276822b25057cb3ff3b28734dec0 ] The "pipe_count > RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN" check has a comment saying "Should not happen, but...". This is only true when testing an RCU whose grace periods are always long enough. This commit therefore fixes this comment.
