  69  * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
  70  * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
  71  * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
  72  * CPUs exit their critical sections.  Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
  73  * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
  74  * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
  75  * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
  76  *
  77  * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
  78  * with RCU read-side critical sections.  One way that this can happen
  79  * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
  80  * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
  81  * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
  82  * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
  83  * callback is invoked.  This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
  84  * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
  85  * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
  86  * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
  87  * RCU callback is invoked.
  88  *
  89  * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested.  Any deferred actions
  90  * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
  91  * completes.
  92  *
  93  * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
