598 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the

600 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
601 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
602 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
603 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
605 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
606 * with new RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
607 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
608 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
609 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
610 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
611 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
612 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
613 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
614 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
615 * RCU callback is invoked.
617 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
618 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
621 * You can avoid reading and understanding the next paragraph by
622 * following this rule: don't put anything in an rcu_read_lock() RCU
623 * read-side critical section that would block in a !PREEMPT kernel.
624 * But if you want the full story, read on!
626 * In non-preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU), it
627 * is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section. In
628 * preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCU)
629 * in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel builds, RCU read-side critical sections may
630 * be preempted, but explicit blocking is illegal. Finally, in preemptible
631 * RCU implementations in real-time (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) kernel builds,
632 * RCU read-side critical sections may be preempted and they may also
633 * block, but only when acquiring spinlocks that are subject to priority

644 * So where is rcu_write_lock()? It does not exist, as there is no
645 * way for writers to lock out RCU readers. This is a feature, not
646 * a bug -- this property is what provides RCU's performance benefits.
647 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
648 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
649 * used as well. RCU does not care how the writers keep out of each
650 * others' way, as long as they do so.

670 * both call_rcu_bh() and synchronize_rcu_bh() consider completion of a

672 * critical section must be protected by disabling softirqs. Read-side
