Subject: [PATCH RFC 8/8] rcu: Fix cpustart tracepoint gp_seq number
Date:   Sun, 13 May 2018 20:15:41 -0700
Message-Id: <20180514031541.67247-9-joel@joelfernandes.org>
In-Reply-To: <20180514031541.67247-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>

Precedence: bulk

cpustart shows a stale gp_seq. This is because rdp->gp_seq is updated
only at the end of the __note_gp_changes function. For this reason, use
rnp->gp_seq instead. I believe we can't update rdp->gp_seq too early so
lets just use the gp_seq from rnp instead.
