   2 *      Routines to manage notifier chains for passing status changes to any
   3 *      interested routines. We need this instead of hard coded call lists so
   4 *      that modules can poke their nose into the innards. The network devices
   5 *      needed them so here they are for the rest of you.

  17/*
  18 * Notifier chains are of four types:
  19 *
  20 *      Atomic notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in interrupt/atomic
  21 *              context. Callouts are not allowed to block.
  22 *      Blocking notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in process context.
  23 *              Callouts are allowed to block.
  24 *      Raw notifier chains: There are no restrictions on callbacks,
  25 *              registration, or unregistration.  All locking and protection
  26 *              must be provided by the caller.
  27 *      SRCU notifier chains: A variant of blocking notifier chains, with
  28 *              the same restrictions.
  29 *
  30 * atomic_notifier_chain_register() may be called from an atomic context,
  31 * but blocking_notifier_chain_register() and srcu_notifier_chain_register()
  32 * must be called from a process context.  Ditto for the corresponding
  33 * _unregister() routines.
  34 *
  35 * atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(),
  36 * and srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() _must not_ be called from within
  37 * the call chain.
  38 *
  39 * SRCU notifier chains are an alternative form of blocking notifier chains.
  40 * They use SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) instead of rw-semaphores for
  41 * protection of the chain links.  This means there is _very_ low overhead
  42 * in srcu_notifier_call_chain(): no cache bounces and no memory barriers.
  43 * As compensation, srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() is rather expensive.
  44 * SRCU notifier chains should be used when the chain will be called very
  45 * often but notifier_blocks will seldom be removed.  Also, SRCU notifier
  46 * chains are slightly more difficult to use because they require special
  47 * runtime initialization.
