+ * Index values for segments in rcu_segcblist structure.
+ *
+ * The segments are as follows:
+ *
+ * [head, *tails[RCU_DONE_TAIL]):
+ * Callbacks whose grace period has elapsed, and thus can be invoked.
+ * [*tails[RCU_DONE_TAIL], *tails[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]):
+ * Callbacks waiting for the current GP from the current CPU's viewpoint.
+ * [*tails[RCU_WAIT_TAIL], *tails[RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL]):
+ * Callbacks that arrived before the next GP started, again from
+ * the current CPU's viewpoint. These can be handled by the next GP.
+ * [*tails[RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL], *tails[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]):
+ * Callbacks that might have arrived after the next GP started.
+ * There is some uncertainty as to when a given GP starts and
+ * ends, but a CPU knows the exact times if it is the one starting
+ * or ending the GP. Other CPUs know that the previous GP ends
+ * before the next one starts.
+ *
+ * Note that RCU_WAIT_TAIL cannot be empty unless RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL is also
+ * empty.
+ *
+ * The ->gp_seq[] array contains the grace-period number at which the
+ * corresponding segment of callbacks will be ready to invoke. A given
+ * element of this array is meaningful only when the corresponding segment
+ * is non-empty, and it is never valid for RCU_DONE_TAIL (whose callbacks
+ * are already ready to invoke) or for RCU_NEXT_TAIL (whose callbacks have
+ * not yet been assigned a grace-period number).
