Give or take.  There were quite a few related bugs, so some or all of
the following commits might also have helped:

cbe0d8d91415c rcu-tasks: Wait for trc_read_check_handler() IPIs
18f08e758f34e rcu-tasks: Add trc_inspect_reader() checks for exiting critical section
46aa886c483f5 rcu-tasks: Fix IPI failure handling in trc_wait_for_one_reader

Thanks for checking. If we don't have one exact fix, let's go with
what syzbot suggested. At this point it does not matter much since all
of them are in most trees I assume. We just need to close the bug with
something.

Quibbles aside, it is nice to get an automated email about having fixed
a bug as opposed to having added one.  ;-)

Yes, but one is not possible without the other :-)
