According to the commit log of the patch that added it to the kernel, start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be invoked very early, as in long before rcu_init() has been invoked. But before rcu_init(), the rcu_data structure's ->mynode field has not yet been initialized. This means that the start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() function's attempt to set the CPU's leaf rcu_node structure's ->exp_seq_poll_rq field will result in a segmentation fault. This commit therefore causes start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited() to set ->exp_seq_poll_rq only after rcu_init() has initialized all CPUs' rcu_data structures' ->mynode fields. It also removes the check from the rcu_init() function so that start_poll_synchronize_rcu_expedited( is unconditionally invoked. Yes, this might result in an unnecessary boot-time grace period, but this is down in the noise.

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.
