``init_srcu_struct()`` APIs for defining and initializing
``srcu_struct`` structures.
+More recently, the SRCU API has added polling interfaces:
+
+#. start_poll_synchronize_srcu() returns a cookie identifying
+ the completion of a future SRCU grace period and ensures
+ that this grace period will be started.
+#. poll_state_synchronize_srcu() returns ``true`` iff the
+ specified cookie corresponds to an already-completed
+ SRCU grace period.
+#. get_state_synchronize_srcu() returns a cookie just like
+ start_poll_synchronize_srcu() does, but differs in that
+ it does nothing to ensure that any future SRCU grace period
+ will be started.
+
+These functions are used to avoid unnecessary SRCU grace periods in
+certain types of buffer-cache algorithms having multi-stage age-out
+mechanisms. The idea is that by the time the block has aged completely
+from the cache, an SRCU grace period will be very likely to have elapsed.
