- * Note that if the CPU is in the idle loop from an RCU point of view
- * (ie: that we are in the section between rcu_idle_enter() and
- * rcu_idle_exit()) then srcu_read_lock_held() returns false even if
- * the CPU did an srcu_read_lock(). The reason for this is that RCU
- * ignores CPUs that are in such a section, considering these as in
- * extended quiescent state, so such a CPU is effectively never in an
- * RCU read-side critical section regardless of what RCU primitives it
- * invokes. This state of affairs is required --- we need to keep an
- * RCU-free window in idle where the CPU may possibly enter into low
- * power mode. This way we can notice an extended quiescent state to
- * other CPUs that started a grace period. Otherwise we would delay any
- * grace period as long as we run in the idle task.
- *
- * Similarly, we avoid claiming an SRCU read lock held if the current
- * CPU is offline.
+ * Note that SRCU is based on its own statemachine and it doesn't
+ * relies on normal RCU, it can be called from the CPU which
+ * is in the idle loop from an RCU point of view or offline.
