- * In userspace, pthreads are preemptible and can migrate CPUs at any time.
- *
- * In the kernel, preempt_disable() logic essentially guarantees that a marked
- * critical section owns its CPU for the relevant block. This is necessary for
- * various code paths, critically including the percpu system as it allows for
- * non-atomic reads and writes to CPU-local data structures.
- *
- * The high performance userspace equivalent would be to use thread local
- * storage to replace percpu data, but that would be complicated. It should be
- * correct to instead guarantee mutual exclusion for the critical sections.
