Currently, rcu_advance_cbs_nowake() checks that a grace period is in progress, however, that grace period could end just after the check. This commit rechecks that a grace period is still in progress while holding the rcu_node structure's lock. The grace period cannot end while the current CPU's rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, thus avoiding false positives from the WARN_ON_ONCE(). As Daniel Vacek noted, it is not necessary for the rcu_node structure to have a CPU that has not yet passed through its quiescent state.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
