OK, I certainly didn't think in those terms.

In theory, rcu_report_dead() is just fine. The reason is that a new
grace period that is ignoring the outgoing CPU cannot start until after:
1. This CPU releases the leaf rcu_node ->lock -and-
2. The grace-period kthread acquires this same lock.
Multiple times.
In practice, too bad about those diagnostics! :-(
So good catch!!!
Thanx, Paul
