+ * Here is how an application can ensure graceful teardown of this

+ *
+ * - An application queuing call_rcu callbacks should invoke
+ *   rcu_barrier() before it exits.
+ * - When chaining call_rcu callbacks, the number of calls to

+ *   number of chained callbacks.
+ * - If an application chains callbacks endlessly, it would have to be
+ *   modified to stop chaining callbacks when it detects an application
+ *   exit (e.g. with a flag), and wait for quiescence with rcu_barrier()
+ *   after setting that flag.
+ * - The statements above apply to a library which queues call_rcu
+ *   callbacks, only it needs to invoke rcu_barrier in its library
+ *   destructor.
+ *
+ * Note that this function does not presume it is being called when the
+ * application is single-threaded even though this is invoked from a
+ * destructor: this function synchronizes against concurrent calls to
