 Steven Rostedt supplied <tt>_rcuidle</tt> event tracing,
 which is used quite heavily in the idle loop.
+However, there are some restrictions on the code placed within
+<tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt>:
+
+<ol>
+<li>	Blocking is prohibited.
+	In practice, this is not a serious restriction given that idle
+	tasks are prohibited from blocking to begin with.
+<li>	Although nesting <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> is permited, they cannot
+	nest indefinitely deeply.
+	However, given that they can be nested on the order of a million
+	deep, even on 32-bit systems, this should not be a serious
+	restriction.
+	This nesting limit would probably be reached long after the
+	compiler OOMed or the stack overflowed.
+<li>	Any code path that enters <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> must sequence
+	out of that same <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt>.
+	For example, the following is grossly illegal:
+
+	<blockquote>

+ 1     RCU_NONIDLE({

+	Yes, in theory, you could transfer in as long as you also

+	worded review comments.

- * synchronize_rcu_expedited - Brute-force RCU grace period
- *
- * Wait for an RCU-preempt grace period, but expedite it.  The basic
- * idea is to IPI all non-idle non-nohz online CPUs.  The IPI handler
- * checks whether the CPU is in an RCU-preempt critical section, and
- * if so, it sets a flag that causes the outermost rcu_read_unlock()
- * to report the quiescent state.  On the other hand, if the CPU is
- * not in an RCU read-side critical section, the IPI handler reports
- * the quiescent state immediately.
- *
- * Although this is a greate improvement over previous expedited
- * implementations, it is still unfriendly to real-time workloads, so is
- * thus not recommended for any sort of common-case code.  In fact, if
- * you are using synchronize_rcu_expedited() in a loop, please restructure
- * your code to batch your updates, and then Use a single synchronize_rcu()
