+ * There is a single llist, which is used for handling
+ * synchronize_rcu() users' enqueued rcu_synchronize nodes.
+ * Within this llist, there are two tail pointers:
+ *
+ * wait tail: Tracks the set of nodes, which need to
+ *            wait for the current GP to complete.
+ * done tail: Tracks the set of nodes, for which grace
+ *            period has elapsed. These nodes processing
+ *            will be done as part of the cleanup work
+ *            execution by a kworker.
+ *
+ * At every grace period init, a new wait node is added
+ * to the llist. This wait node is used as wait tail
+ * for this new grace period. Given that there are a fixed
+ * number of wait nodes, if all wait nodes are in use
+ * (which can happen when kworker callback processing
+ * is delayed) and additional grace period is requested.
+ * This means, a system is slow in processing callbacks.
+ *
+ * TODO: If a slow processing is detected, a first node
+ * in the llist should be used as a wait-tail for this
+ * grace period, therefore users which should wait due
+ * to a slow process are handled by _this_ grace period
+ * and not next.
+ *
+ * Below is an illustration of how the done and wait
+ * tail pointers move from one set of rcu_synchronize nodes
+ * to the other, as grace periods start and finish and
+ * nodes are processed by kworker.
