 Steven Rostedt supplied <tt>_rcuidle</tt> event tracing,

+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>

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

+	worded review comments.

- * checks whether the CPU is in an RCU-preempt critical section, and

- * 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
