 158 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
 159 *
 160 * When synchronize_kernel() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
 161 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
 162 * synchronize_kernel() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
 163 * CPUs exit their critical sections.  Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
 164 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
 165 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
 166 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
 167 *
 168 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
 169 * with RCU read-side critical sections.  One way that this can happen
 170 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
 171 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
 172 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
 173 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
 174 * callback is invoked.  This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
 175 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
 176 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
 177 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
 178 * RCU callback is invoked.
 179 *
 180 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested.  Any deferred actions
 181 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
 182 * completes.
 183 *
 184 * It is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section.
