* Routines to manage notifier chains for passing status changes to any
3
* interested routines. We need this instead of hard coded call lists so
4
* that modules can poke their nose into the innards. The network devices
5
* needed them so here they are for the rest of you.

* Notifier chains are of four types:
20
* Atomic notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in interrupt/atomic
21
* context. Callouts are not allowed to block.
22
* Blocking notifier chains: Chain callbacks run in process context.
23
* Callouts are allowed to block.
24
* Raw notifier chains: There are no restrictions on callbacks,
25
* registration, or unregistration. All locking and protection
26
* must be provided by the caller.
27
* SRCU notifier chains: A variant of blocking notifier chains, with
28
* the same restrictions.
30
* atomic_notifier_chain_register() may be called from an atomic context,
31
* but blocking_notifier_chain_register() and srcu_notifier_chain_register()
32
* must be called from a process context. Ditto for the corresponding
33
* _unregister() routines.
35
* atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), blocking_notifier_chain_unregister(),
36
* and srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() _must not_ be called from within
39
* SRCU notifier chains are an alternative form of blocking notifier chains.
40
* They use SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) instead of rw-semaphores for
41
* protection of the chain links. This means there is _very_ low overhead
42
* in srcu_notifier_call_chain(): no cache bounces and no memory barriers.
43
* As compensation, srcu_notifier_chain_unregister() is rather expensive.
44
* SRCU notifier chains should be used when the chain will be called very
45
* often but notifier_blocks will seldom be removed. Also, SRCU notifier
46
* chains are slightly more difficult to use because they require special
47
* runtime initialization.
