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