310 * section regardless of what RCU primitives it invokes. This state of

312 * where the CPU may possibly enter into low power mode. This way we can

616 * rcu_read_lock() - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section
618 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
619 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
620 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
621 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
622 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
623 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
624 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
626 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
627 * with new RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
628 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
629 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
630 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
631 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
632 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
633 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
634 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
635 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
636 * RCU callback is invoked.
638 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
639 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
640 * completes.
642 * You can avoid reading and understanding the next paragraph by
643 * following this rule: don't put anything in an rcu_read_lock() RCU
644 * read-side critical section that would block in a !PREEMPT kernel.
645 * But if you want the full story, read on!
647 * In non-preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU), it
648 * is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section. In
649 * preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCU)
650 * in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel builds, RCU read-side critical sections may
651 * be preempted, but explicit blocking is illegal. Finally, in preemptible
652 * RCU implementations in real-time (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) kernel builds,
653 * RCU read-side critical sections may be preempted and they may also
654 * block, but only when acquiring spinlocks that are subject to priority
655 * inheritance.

801 * 1. This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer -or-
802 * 2. The caller has taken whatever steps are required to prevent
803 * RCU readers from concurrently accessing this pointer -or-
804 * 3. The referenced data structure has already been exposed to
805 * readers either at compile time or via rcu_assign_pointer() -and-
806 * a. You have not made -any- reader-visible changes to
807 * this structure since then -or-
808 * b. It is OK for readers accessing this structure from its
809 * new location to see the old state of the structure. (For
810 * example, the changes were to statistical counters or to
811 * other state where exact synchronization is not required.)
813 * Failure to follow these rules governing use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() will

821 * use RCU_INIT_POINTER() to initialize the internal RCU-protected

823 * external-to-structure pointer -after- you have completely initialized
824 * the reader-accessible portions of the linked structure.
