+ * illegal to call anything that waits on an SRCU grace period for the
+ * same srcu_struct, whether directly or indirectly.  Please note that
+ * one way to indirectly wait on an SRCU grace period is to acquire
+ * a mutex that is held elsewhere while calling synchronize_srcu() or
+ * synchronize_srcu_expedited().  But if you want lockdep to help you
+ * keep this stuff straight, you should instead use srcu_read_lock().
+ *
+ * The semaphore-like nature of srcu_down_read() means that the matching
+ * srcu_up_read() can be invoked from some other context, for example,
+ * from some other task or from an irq handler.  However, neither
+ * srcu_down_read() nor srcu_up_read() may be invoked from an NMI handler.
+ *
+ * Calls to srcu_down_read() may be nested, similar to the manner in
+ * which calls to down_read() may be nested.
