245 * with a srcu_read_unlock(), which might have executed
246 * just before the preceding srcu_readers_active() check,
247 * and whose CPU might have reordered the srcu_read_unlock()
248 * with the preceding critical section. In this case, there
249 * is nothing preventing the synchronize_sched() task that is
250 * taking the early exit from freeing a data structure that

254 * Alternatively, the comparison with "2" on the early exit
255 * could be changed to "3", but this increases synchronize_srcu()
256 * latency for bulk loads. So the current code is preferred.
