+ * This is needed by smp_call_function_mask when using on-stack data, because
+ * a single call function queue is shared by all CPUs, and any CPU may pick up
+ * the data item on the queue at any time before it is deleted. So we need to
+ * ensure that all CPUs have transitioned through a quiescent state after
+ * this call.
+ *
+ * This is a very slow function, implemented by sending synchronous IPIs to
+ * all possible CPUs. For this reason, we have to alloc data rather than use
+ * stack based data even in the case of synchronous calls. The stack based
+ * data is then just used for deadlock/oom fallback which will be very rare.
+ *
+ * If a faster scheme can be made, we could go back to preferring stack based
+ * data -- the data allocation/free is non-zero cost.
