Hello, Stephen,

There is currently some debate as to exactly which commit(s) introduced
the bug, which will hopefully come to a conclusion before tomorrow's
-next.  If they do not, I will use your correction as a placeholder.

Just for completeness, the current other two candidates (which appear
quite plausible to me) are these:

Fixes: 34c881745549 ("rcu: Support kfree_bulk() interface in kfree_rcu()")
Fixes: 5f3c8d620447 ("rcu/tree: Maintain separate array for vmalloc ptrs")

Ziwei Dai, what are your thoughts on this?  This is from a mainline
perspective, my guess being that your investigation involved some other
Linux-kernel tree.

							Thanx, Paul
