Very good, and a big "Thank You!!!" to all of you!

I queued this series for testing purposes, and have started a bunch of
SRCU-P and SRCU-N tests on one set of systems, and a single SRCU-P and
SRCU-N on another system, but with both scenarios resized to 40 CPU each.

While that is in flight, a few questions:

o	Please check the Co-developed-by rules.  Last I knew, it was
	necessary to have a Signed-off-by after each Co-developed-by.

o	Is it possible to get a Tested-by from the original reporter?
	Or is this not reproducible?

o	Is it possible to convince rcutorture to find this sort of
	bug?  Seems like it should be, but easy to say...

o	Frederic, would you like to include this in your upcoming
	pull request?  Or does it need more time?

						Thanx, Paul
