     85 // Certain behavior is disallowed on certain threads.  ThreadRestrictions helps
     86 // enforce these rules.  Examples of such rules:
     87 //
     88 // * Do not do blocking IO (makes the thread janky)
     89 // * Do not access Singleton/LazyInstance (may lead to shutdown crashes)
     90 //
     91 // Here's more about how the protection works:
     92 //
     93 // 1) If a thread should not be allowed to make IO calls, mark it:
     94 //      base::ThreadRestrictions::SetIOAllowed(false);
     95 //    By default, threads *are* allowed to make IO calls.
     96 //    In Chrome browser code, IO calls should be proxied to the File thread.
     97 //
     98 // 2) If a function makes a call that will go out to disk, check whether the
     99 //    current thread is allowed:
    100 //      base::ThreadRestrictions::AssertIOAllowed();
    101 //
    102 //
    103 // Style tip: where should you put AssertIOAllowed checks?  It's best
    104 // if you put them as close to the disk access as possible, at the
    105 // lowest level.  This rule is simple to follow and helps catch all
    106 // callers.  For example, if your function GoDoSomeBlockingDiskCall()
    107 // only calls other functions in Chrome and not fopen(), you should go
    108 // add the AssertIOAllowed checks in the helper functions.
