Works for me either way, at least assuming that the splat actually gets
printed. ;-)

OK, please see the (untested) patch below. Of course,
srcu_read_lock_notrace() invokes __srcu_read_lock(), which looks as
follows:

int __srcu_read_lock(struct srcu_struct *sp)
{
int idx;

idx = READ_ONCE(sp->srcu_idx) & 0x1;
this_cpu_inc(sp->sda->srcu_lock_count[idx]);
smp_mb(); /* B */ /* Avoid leaking the critical section. */
return idx;
}

Do I also need to make a notrace version of __srcu_read_lock()?
Same question for __srcu_read_unlock(), which is similar. If so,
assuming that there is no need for a notrace variant of this_cpu_inc()
and smp_mb(), I suppose I could simply macro-ize the internals in both
cases, but perhaps you have a better approach.

Thanx, Paul
