643 * -1. Although rcu_access_index() may also be used in cases where

651 * @p: The pointer to read, prior to dereferencing
652 * @c: The conditions under which the dereference will take place
654 * Similar to rcu_dereference_check(), but omits the sparse checking.
655 * This allows rcu_dereference_index_check() to be used on integers,
656 * which can then be used as array indices. Attempting to use
657 * rcu_dereference_check() on an integer will give compiler warnings
658 * because the sparse address-space mechanism relies on dereferencing
659 * the RCU-protected pointer. Dereferencing integers is not something
660 * that even gcc will put up with.
662 * Note that this function does not implicitly check for RCU read-side
663 * critical sections. If this function gains lots of uses, it might

677 * is useful in cases where update-side locks prevent the value of the
678 * pointer from changing. Please note that this primitive does -not-
679 * prevent the compiler from repeating this reference or combining it
680 * with other references, so it should not be used without protection
681 * of appropriate locks.
683 * This function is only for update-side use. Using this function

716 * rcu_read_lock() - mark the beginning of an RCU read-side critical section
718 * When synchronize_rcu() is invoked on one CPU while other CPUs
719 * are within RCU read-side critical sections, then the
720 * synchronize_rcu() is guaranteed to block until after all the other
721 * CPUs exit their critical sections. Similarly, if call_rcu() is invoked
722 * on one CPU while other CPUs are within RCU read-side critical
723 * sections, invocation of the corresponding RCU callback is deferred
724 * until after the all the other CPUs exit their critical sections.
726 * Note, however, that RCU callbacks are permitted to run concurrently
727 * with new RCU read-side critical sections. One way that this can happen
728 * is via the following sequence of events: (1) CPU 0 enters an RCU
729 * read-side critical section, (2) CPU 1 invokes call_rcu() to register
730 * an RCU callback, (3) CPU 0 exits the RCU read-side critical section,
731 * (4) CPU 2 enters a RCU read-side critical section, (5) the RCU
732 * callback is invoked. This is legal, because the RCU read-side critical
733 * section that was running concurrently with the call_rcu() (and which
734 * therefore might be referencing something that the corresponding RCU
735 * callback would free up) has completed before the corresponding
736 * RCU callback is invoked.
738 * RCU read-side critical sections may be nested. Any deferred actions
739 * will be deferred until the outermost RCU read-side critical section
742 * You can avoid reading and understanding the next paragraph by
743 * following this rule: don't put anything in an rcu_read_lock() RCU
744 * read-side critical section that would block in a !PREEMPT kernel.
745 * But if you want the full story, read on!
747 * In non-preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_RCU and TINY_RCU), it
748 * is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical section. In
749 * preemptible RCU implementations (TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and TINY_PREEMPT_RCU)
750 * in CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel builds, RCU read-side critical sections may
751 * be preempted, but explicit blocking is illegal. Finally, in preemptible
752 * RCU implementations in real-time (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT) kernel builds,
753 * RCU read-side critical sections may be preempted and they may also
754 * block, but only when acquiring spinlocks that are subject to priority

979 * Because the functions are not allowed in the low-order 4096 bytes of
