Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 5/9] rcutorture: Fix rcu_torture_one_read() pipe_count overflow comment
Date: Sun, 26 May 2024 05:43:06 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240526094312.3413460-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240526094312.3413460-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 8b9b443fa860276822b25057cb3ff3b28734dec0 ]

The "pipe_count > RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN" check has a comment saying "Should
not happen, but...".  This is only true when testing an RCU whose grace
periods are always long enough.  This commit therefore fixes this comment.
