A grace-period sequence number contains two fields: counter and state. SRCU_SNP_INIT_SEQ provides a guaranteed invalid value for grace-period sequence numbers in newly allocated srcu_node structures' ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields. The point of the comparison in srcu_invl_snp_seq() is not to detect invalid grace-period sequence numbers in general, but rather to detect a newly allocated srcu_node structure whose ->srcu_have_cbs[] and ->srcu_gp_seq_needed_exp fields need to be brought into line with the srcu_struct structure's ->srcu_gp_seq field. This commit therefore causes srcu_invl_snp_seq() to compare both fields of the specified grace-period sequence number.

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.
