srcu: Update synchronize_srcu()'s comments
The core of SRCU is changed, but synchronize_srcu()'s comments describe the old algorithm. This commit therefore updates them to match the new algorithm. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

* synchronize_srcu - wait for prior SRCU read-side critical-section completion
|
||||
* @sp: srcu_struct with which to synchronize.
|

*
|
||||
* Flip the completed counter, and wait for the old count to drain to zero.
|
||||
* As with classic RCU, the updater must use some separate means of
|
||||
* synchronizing concurrent updates. Can block; must be called from
|
||||
* process context.
|
||||
* Wait for the count to drain to zero of both indexes. To avoid the
|
||||
* possible starvation of synchronize_srcu(), it waits for the count of
|
||||
* the index=((->completed & 1) ^ 1) to drain to zero at first,
|
||||
* and then flip the completed and wait for the count of the other index.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Can block; must be called from process context.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Note that it is illegal to call synchronize_srcu() from the corresponding
|
||||
* SRCU read-side critical section; doing so will result in deadlock.
