+ * The callback function will be invoked some time after a full SRCU
+ * grace period elapses, in other words after all pre-existing SRCU
+ * read-side critical sections have completed. However, the callback
+ * function might well execute concurrently with other SRCU read-side
+ * critical sections that started after call_srcu() was invoked. SRCU
+ * read-side critical sections are delimited by srcu_read_lock() and
+ * srcu_read_unlock(), and may be nested.
+ *
+ * The callback will be invoked from process context, but must nevertheless
+ * be fast and must not block.
