I never have run rcutorture on a system with that many CPUs.  ;-)

Given that rcutorture is not used in production, my approach would be to
fix this when I encountered it.  But what change would you suggest, and,
more importantly, how would you go about testing it before submitting
a patch?

Or if you are simply reporting this as a bug, please let me know that.

							Thanx, Paul
