+ * Please note that we cannot simply refuse to wake up the per-CPU
+ * kthread because kthreads are created in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state,
+ * which can result in softlockup complaints if the task ends up being
+ * idle for more than a couple of minutes.
+ *
+ * However, please note also that we cannot bind the per-CPU kthread to its
+ * CPU until that CPU is fully online. We also cannot wait until the
+ * CPU is fully online before we create its per-CPU kthread, as this would
+ * deadlock the system when CPU notifiers tried waiting for grace
+ * periods. So we bind the per-CPU kthread to its CPU only if the CPU
+ * is online. If its CPU is not yet fully online, then the code in
+ * rcu_cpu_kthread() will wait until it is fully online, and then do
+ * the binding.
