Joel Fernandes (Google) c2e13112e8 rcu/segcblist: Add additional comments to explain smp_mb()
One counter-intuitive property of RCU is the fact that full memory
barriers are needed both before and after updates to the full
(non-segmented) length.  This patch therefore helps to assist the
reader's intuition by adding appropriate comments.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
