231 * just before the preceding srcu_readers_active() check,
232 * and whose CPU might have reordered the srcu_read_unlock()
233 * with the preceding critical section. In this case, there
234 * is nothing preventing the synchronize_sched() task that is
235 * taking the early exit from freeing a data structure that
236 * is still being referenced (out of order) by the task
237 * doing the srcu_read_unlock().
239 * Alternatively, the comparison with "2" on the early exit
240 * could be changed to "3", but this increases synchronize_srcu()
241 * latency for bulk loads. So the current code is preferred.
