+ * rcuwait provides a way of blocking and waking up a single
+ * task in an rcu-safe manner; where it is forbidden to use
+ * after exit_notify(). task_struct is not properly rcu protected,
+ * unless dealing with rcu-aware lists, ie: find_task_by_*().
+ *
+ * Alternatively we have task_rcu_dereference(), but the return
+ * semantics have different implications which would break the
+ * wakeup side. The only time @task is non-nil is when a user is
+ * blocked (or checking if it needs to) on a condition, and reset
+ * as soon as we know that the condition has succeeded and are
+ * awoken.
