Paul, here is a modified version of this patch, what I only did is
removing this note.

Besides I rebased the whole series on the current rcu/dev branch of -rcu
tree, on this very commit:

	8e9b2521b18a ("doc: Quick-Quiz answers are now inline")

And I put the latest version at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/boqun/linux.git leaf-node

If you thought it's better, I could send a v3 ;-)

Regards,
Boqun

Subject: [PATCH v2.1 4/5] rcu: Use for_each_leaf_node_cpu() in force_qs_rnp()

->qsmask of an RCU leaf node is usually more sparse than the
corresponding cpu_possible_mask. So replace the
for_each_leaf_node_possible_cpu() in force_qs_rnp() with
for_each_leaf_node_cpu() to save several checks.
