Currently, once an RCU CPU stall warning decides to dump the stalling CPUs' stacks, the rcu_dump_cpu_stacks() function persists until it has gone through the full list. Unfortunately, if the stalled grace periods ends midway through, this function will be dumping stacks of innocent-bystander CPUs that happen to be blocking not the old grace period, but instead the new one. This can cause serious confusion. This commit therefore stops dumping stacks if and when the stalled grace period ends. [ paulmck: Apply Joel Fernandes feedback. ] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
