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