67 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
68 *
9b06e818 69 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
1da177e4 70 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
9b06e818 71 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
1da177e4
LT
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.
