 	liburcu-bp, which is designed to handle fork() by calling
 	rcu_bp_before_fork, rcu_bp_after_fork_parent and
 	rcu_bp_after_fork_child.
+
+	Applications that use call_rcu() and that fork() without
+	doing an immediate exec() must take special action.  The parent
+	must invoke call_rcu_before_fork() before the fork() and
+	call_rcu_after_fork_parent() after the fork().  The child
+	process must invoke call_rcu_after_fork_child().
+	These three APIs are suitable for passing to pthread_atfork().
