+Stall Warnings for Expedited Grace Periods
+
+If an expedited grace period detects a stall, it will place a message
+like the following in dmesg:
+
+	INFO: rcu_sched detected expedited stalls on CPUs: { 1 2 6 } 26009 jiffies s: 1043
+
+This indicates that CPUs 1, 2, and 6 have failed to respond to a
+reschedule IPI, that the expedited grace period has been going on for
+26,009 jiffies, and that the expedited grace-period sequence counter is
+1043.  The fact that this last value is odd indicates that an expedited
+grace period is in flight.
+
+It is entirely possible to see stall warnings from normal and from
+expedited grace periods at about the same time from the same run.
