685 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
686 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
687 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
688 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
689 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
690 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
691 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
693 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
694 * with new RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
695 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
696 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
697 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
698 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
699 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
700 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
701 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
702 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
703 * RCU callback is invoked.
705 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
706 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
709 * You can avoid reading and understanding the next paragraph by
710 * following this rule: don't put anything in an rcu_read_lock() RCU
711 * read-side critical section that would block in a !PREEMPT kernel.
712 * But if you want the full story, read on!
714 * In non-preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU), it
715 * is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section. In
716 * preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCU)
717 * in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel builds, RCU read-side critical sections may
718 * be preempted, but explicit blocking is illegal. Finally, in preemptible
719 * RCU implementations in real-time (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) kernel builds,
720 * RCU read-side critical sections may be preempted and they may also
721 * block, but only when acquiring spinlocks that are subject to priority
