  69 * rcu_read_lock - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section.
  70 *
  71 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
  72 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
  73 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
  74 * 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.

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