Hello, Quick question the critical section between rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock need to be as small as possible like in case of local_irq_save()/restore or am i at liberty to have a large critical section with rcu lock? e.g rcu_read_lock() ... /* some code here */ ... rcu_read_unlock() Is it ok to hold a rcu_read_lock across a large block of code? My guess it is ok? I need someone to correct me or point me where i am misunderstanding something.
