[ Wondering why this didn't get picked up in v6.3-rc3, I see that the maintainers of RCU were not Cc'd :-( ]
This is a bug that will cause unwanted results. I have a patch that will not let the kernel build when code like this is added.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-trace-kernel/patch/20230309221302.642e82d9@gandalf.local.home/
( The kernel robot even failed when applying the above patch, because it caught the code that this patch fixes )
