[PATCH rcu 4/9] srcu: Fix the comparision in srcu_invl_snp_seq()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 19:32:57 EST


From: Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@xxxxxxxxx>

A grace-period sequence number contains two fields: counter and
state. SRCU_SNP_INIT_SEQ provides a guaranteed invalid value for
grace-period sequence numbers in newly allocated srcu_node structures'
->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields. The point of the
comparison in srcu_invl_snp_seq() is not to detect invalid grace-period
sequence numbers in general, but rather to detect a newly allocated
srcu_node structure whose ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp
fields need to be brought into line with the srcu_struct structure's
->srcu_gp_seq field.

This commit therefore causes srcu_invl_snp_seq() to compare both fields
of the specified grace-period sequence number.
