[PATCH] rcu: Make struct rcu_head searchable

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Nov 13 2013 - 12:02:41 EST


After wasting too much time trying to see where struct rcu_head was
declared, I finally found it in include/linux/types.h as a define for
callback_head!

To prevent other developers from wasting their precious time in
searching for this structure, add a comment to help them find it!
