+/**
+ * DOC: Shadow variable API concurrency notes:
+ *
+ * The shadow variable API provides a simple relationship between an
+ * <obj, id> pair and a pointer value.  It is the responsibility of the
+ * caller to provide any mutual exclusion required of the shadow data.
+ *
+ * Once a shadow variable is attached to its parent object via the
+ * klp_shadow_*alloc() API calls, it is considered live: any subsequent
+ * call to klp_shadow_get() may then return the shadow variable's data
+ * pointer.  Callers of klp_shadow_*alloc() should prepare shadow data
+ * accordingly.
+ *
+ * The klp_shadow_*alloc() API calls may allocate memory for new shadow
+ * variable structures.  Their implementation does not call kmalloc
+ * inside any spinlocks, but API callers should pass GFP flags according
+ * to their specific needs.
+ *
+ * The klp_shadow_hash is an RCU-enabled hashtable and is safe against
+ * concurrent klp_shadow_free() and klp_shadow_get() operations.
