Very good!

Not a problem, Google Translate decided that this was the corresponding
English:

	Thursday January 27th, 2022

I really do need to get my browser to do the Chinese characters.  My
vim displays them just fine.  :-/

Zero, which is good.  ;-)

There was at least one RCU bug in this -next, fixed by this commit:

da123016ca8c ("rcu-tasks: Fix computation of CPU-to-list shift counts")

But this warning looks like something else.  For one thing, you would
have had to be running on a system with exactly three CPUs to trigger
the RCU bug given the usual rcutorture scenarios.

May I add your Tested-by to this commit?

						Thanx, Paul
