Subject: [PATCH 02/16] rcu/nocb: Comment the reason behind BH disablement on batch processing
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2021 18:12:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210128171222.131380-3-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210128171222.131380-1-frederic@kernel.org>

Explain why we need to disable softirqs while processing callbacks in
an offline fashion. The subtle reason doesn't want to be forgotten.
