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

127 * So where is rcu_write_lock()? It does not exist, as there is no
128 * way for writers to lock out RCU readers. This is a feature, not
129 * a bug -- this property is what provides RCU's performance benefits.
130 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other. The normal
131 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
132 * used as well. RCU does not care how the writers keep out of each
133 * others' way, as long as they do so.

153 * consider completion of a softirq handler to be a quiescent state,
154 * a process in RCU read-side critical section must be protected by
155 * disabling softirqs. Read-side critical sections in interrupt context
156 * can use just rcu_read_lock().

243 * (pretty much all of them other than x86), and also prevents
