138 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
139 *
9b06e818 140 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
1da177e4 141 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
9b06e818 142 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
1da177e4
LT
143 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
144 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
145 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
146 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
147 *
148 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
149 * with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
150 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
151 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
152 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
153 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
154 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
155 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
156 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
157 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
158 * RCU callback is invoked.
159 *
160 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
161 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
162 * completes.
163 *
164 * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.

179 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
180 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
