69 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
70 *
Paul E. McKenney9b06e812005-05-01 08:59:04 -070071 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070072 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
Paul E. McKenney9b06e812005-05-01 08:59:04 -070073 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070074 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
75 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
76 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
77 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
78 *
79 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
80 * with RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
81 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
82 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
83 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
84 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
85 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
86 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
87 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
88 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
89 * RCU callback is invoked.
90 *
91 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
92 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
93 * completes.
94 *
95 * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
