Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/9] Miscellaneous fixes for v5.3

Hello!

This series provides miscellaneous fixes:

1.	Dump specified number of blocked tasks rather than rely on
	serendipity, courtesy of Neeraj Upadhyay.

2.	Correctly unlock root node in rcu_check_gp_start_stall(),
	courtesy of Neeraj Upadhyay.

3.	Make kfree_rcu() ignore NULL pointers.

4.	Set a maximum limit for back-to-back callback invocation.

5.	Remove ".vnet" from paulmck email addresses.

6.	Upgrade sync_exp_work_done() to smp_mb().

7.	Fix irritating whitespace error in rcu_assign_pointer().

8.	Force inlining of rcu_read_lock(), courtesy of Waiman Long.

9.	Don't return a value from rcu_assign_pointer(), courtesy of
	Andrea Parri.

							Thanx, Paul
