/*
|
|
* Notifier chains are of four types:
|
|
*
|
|
* Atomic notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in interrupt/atomic
|
|
* context. Callouts are not allowed to block.
|
|
* Blocking notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in process context.
|
|
* Callouts are allowed to block.
|
|
* Raw notifier chains: There are no restrictions on callbacks,
|
|
* registration, or unregistration. All locking and protection
|
|
* must be provided by the caller.
|
|
* SRCU notifier chains: A variant of blocking notifier chains, with
|
|
* the same restrictions.
|
|
*
|
|
* atomic_notifier_chain_register() may be called from an atomic context,
|
|
* but blocking_notifier_chain_register() and srcu_notifier_chain_register()
|
|
* must be called from a process context. Ditto for the corresponding
|
|
* _unregister() routines.
|
|
*
|
|
* atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(),
|
|
* and srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() _must not_ be called from within
|
|
* the call chain.
|
|
*
|
|
* SRCU notifier chains are an alternative form of blocking notifier chains.
|
|
* They use SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) instead of rw-semaphores for
|
|
* protection of the chain links. This means there is _very_ low overhead
|
|
* in srcu_notifier_call_chain(): no cache bounces and no memory barriers.
|
|
* As compensation, srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() is rather expensive.
|
|
* SRCU notifier chains should be used when the chain will be called very
|
|
* often but notifier_blocks will seldom be removed. Also, SRCU notifier
|
|
* chains are slightly more difficult to use because they require special
|
|
* runtime initialization.
