[PATCH rcu 3/4] srcu: Make Tiny SRCU poll_state_synchronize_srcu() more precise

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Wed Aug 31 2022 - 14:24:17 EST


This commit applies the more-precise grace-period-state check used by
rcu_seq_done_exact() to poll_state_synchronize_srcu(). This is important
because Tiny SRCU uses a 16-bit counter, which can wrap quite quickly.
If counter wrap continues to be a problem, then expanding ->srcu_idx
and ->srcu_idx_max to 32 bits might be warranted.
