I realize, doesn't it break the unsegmented count in srcu_invoke_callbacks() ?

It still does rcu_segcblist_insert_count(), so it adds zero to rsclp->len
which thus doesn't get cleared and probably keeps growing.

At least srcu_barrier() relies on it. And module exit should warn.

You seem to have forgotten the suggestion?

    rclp->len += rcu_segcblist_get_seglen(rsclp, i)


Thanks.
