- * before this primitive returns.  However, this does not guarantee that
- * softirq handlers will have completed, since in some kernels, these

- * This primitive provides the guarantees made by the (now removed)

- * guarantees that rcu_read_lock() sections will have completed.
- * In "classic RCU", these two guarantees happen to be one and
