If there is, 0day Test Robot hasn't spotted it, nor has anyone else
reported it.

Timely question! ;-)
My current plan is to send you a pull request like the following later
today, Pacific Time (but rebased adding Steve Rostedt's Reviewed-by).
This patch is on one of the branches, currently v4.13-rc2..93d8d7a12090
("arch: Remove spin_unlock_wait() arch-specific definitions") in my
-rcu tree.
Ah, and v4.13-rc2..7391304c4959 ("membarrier: Expedited private command")
is mostly outside of RCU as well.
Since I will be rebasing and remerging anyway, if you would prefer that I
split the spin_unlock_wait() and/or misc branches out, I am happy to do so.
If I don't hear otherwise, though, I will send all seven branches using
my usual approach.
So, if you want something different than my usual approach, please just
let me know!
Thanx, Paul
PS. At the moment, there are no code changes to be applied, just
Steve's Reviewed-by.
