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

 105 * So where is rcu_write_lock()?  It does not exist, as there is no

 108 * Of course, writers must coordinate with each other.  The normal
 109 * spinlock primitives work well for this, but any other technique may be
 110 * used as well.  RCU does not care how the writers keep out of each
