RCU in the linux kernel

[Girija Kumar K]

Hi,

The RCU(read-copy-update) offers some really good insights into writing good pub-sub systems, garbage collectors, locked writers with almost naked readers and so on.

Can we have a discussion on this some time in the fosscafe meetups ?

https://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt

is a good start with some background.

Hi Giri,

I did be interested in this as well.  Paul McKenny writes a lot on the topic of RCU.
