Paul E. McKenney 3842a0832a rcu: Document same-context read-side constraints
The intent is that a given RCU read-side critical section be confined
to a single context.  For example, it is illegal to invoke rcu_read_lock()
in an exception handler and then invoke rcu_read_unlock() from the
context of the task that received the exception.

* this assumes we are in an SRCU read-side critical section unless it can
* prove otherwise.
*

* and while lockdep is disabled.
*
* Note that if the CPU is in the idle loop from an RCU point of view
* (ie: that we are in the section between rcu_idle_enter() and
* rcu_idle_exit()) then srcu_read_lock_held() returns false even if
* the CPU did an srcu_read_lock(). The reason for this is that RCU
* ignores CPUs that are in such a section, considering these as in
* extended quiescent state, so such a CPU is effectively never in an
* RCU read-side critical section regardless of what RCU primitives it
* invokes. This state of affairs is required --- we need to keep an
* RCU-free window in idle where the CPU may possibly enter into low
* power mode. This way we can notice an extended quiescent state to
* other CPUs that started a grace period. Otherwise we would delay any
* grace period as long as we run in the idle task.
