Hello, Paul

I think the next patch is better.
Because ULONG_CMP_GE could cause double write, which has risk that write back old value.
Please help review.
I don't test it. If you agree, we will test it.
Thanks!

That would be because I sent you the wrong patch, apologies!  :-/

Please instead see the one below, which does add sysrq_rcu.

							Thanx, Paul

commit 04b6245c8458e8725f4169e62912c1fadfdf8141
Author: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>

    rcu: Add sysrq rcu_node-dump capability
    
    Backported from v4.21/v5.0
    
    Life is hard if RCU manages to get stuck without triggering RCU CPU
    stall warnings or triggering the rcu_check_gp_start_stall() checks
    for failing to start a grace period.  This commit therefore adds a
    boot-time-selectable sysrq key (commandeering "y") that allows manually
    dumping Tree RCU state.  The new rcutree.sysrq_rcu kernel boot parameter
    must be set for this sysrq to be available.
