From 6e67669678d2d51b2bcf0411aeb629b4353a9880 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 14:56:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] documentation: Document call_rcu() safety mechanisms and limitations The call_rcu() family of primitives will take action to accelerate grace periods when the number of callbacks pending on a given CPU becomes excessive. Although this safety mechanism can be useful, it is no substitute for users of call_rcu() having rate-limit controls in place. This commit adds this nuance to the documentation.
