+ * use srcu_read_lock_raw() in one context, for example, in an exception
+ * handler, and then have the matching srcu_read_unlock_raw() in another
+ * context, for example in the task that took the exception.
+ *
+ * However, the entire SRCU read-side critical section must reside within a
+ * single task. For example, beware of using srcu_read_lock_raw() in
+ * a device interrupt handler and srcu_read_unlock() in the interrupted
+ * task: This will not work if interrupts are threaded.
