84 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
85 *
9b06e818 86 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
1da177e4 87 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
9b06e818 88 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
1da177e4
LT
89 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
90 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
91 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
92 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
93 *
94 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
95 * with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
96 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
97 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
98 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
99 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
100 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
101 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
102 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
103 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
104 * RCU callback is invoked.
105 *
106 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
107 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
108 * completes.
109 *
110 * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
