commit cbe0d8d91415c9692fe88191940d98952b6855d9 upstream. Currently, RCU Tasks Trace initializes the trc_n_readers_need_end counter to the value one, increments it before each trc_read_check_handler() IPI, then decrements it within trc_read_check_handler() if the target task was in a quiescent state (or if the target task moved to some other CPU while the IPI was in flight), complaining if the new value was zero. The rationale for complaining is that the initial value of one must be decremented away before zero can be reached, and this decrement has not yet happened. Except that trc_read_check_handler() is initiated with an asynchronous smp_call_function_single(), which might be significantly delayed. This can result in false-positive complaints about the counter reaching zero. This commit therefore waits for in-flight IPI handlers to complete before decrementing away the initial value of one from the trc_n_readers_need_end counter. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
