And I reran after adding a trace_printk(), which shows up as follows:

[  211.409565]  6)               |  /* On unexpected CPU 6, expected 4!!! */

I placed the console log here:

	http://www2.rdrop.com/~paulmck/submission/console.tpk.log.gz

Just in case the earlier log proves useful.

And it is acting as if the destination CPU proved to be offline.  Except
that this rcutorture scenario doesn't offline anything, and I don't see
any CPU-hotplug removal messages.  So I added another trace_printk() to
print out cpu_online_mask.  This gets me the following:

[   31.565605]  0)               |  /* On unexpected CPU 0, expected 1!!! */
[   31.565605]  0)               |  /* Online CPUs: 0-7 */

So we didn't make it to CPU 1 despite its being online.  I placed the
console log here:

	http://www2.rdrop.com/~paulmck/submission/console.tpkol.log.gz

Thoughts?

Updated patch against -rcu below in case it is useful.

							Thanx, Paul
