+ * Notes on lockless lookups:
+ *
+ * All stores to the tree structure (rb_left and rb_right) must be done using
+ * WRITE_ONCE(). And we must not inadvertently cause (temporary) loops in the
+ * tree structure as seen in program order.
+ *
+ * These two requirements will allow lockless iteration of the tree -- not
+ * correct iteration mind you, tree rotations are not atomic so a lookup might
+ * miss entire subtrees.
+ *
+ * But they do guarantee that any such traversal will only see valid elements
+ * and that it will indeed complete -- does not get stuck in a loop.
+ *
+ * It also guarantees that if the lookup returns an element it is the 'correct'
+ * one. But not returning an element does _NOT_ mean it's not present.
+ *
+ * NOTE:
+ *
+ * Stores to __rb_parent_color are not important for simple lookups so those
+ * are left undone as of now. Nor did I check for loops involving parent
+ * pointers.
