  Read-copy-update - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RCU can be put to a number of other tasks, including dynamically changing NMI (Non-Maskable interrupt) handlers and implementing lazy barriers, but it is most frequently used as replacement for reader-writer locking.
RCU is available in a number of operating systems, including version 2.6 of the Linux kernel.
RCU is also the topic of one of the claims in the SCO v.

 Paul E. McKenney: Read-Copy Update (RCU)
July 2006 "Extending RCU for Realtime and Embedded Workloads" with Dipankar Sarma, Ingo Molnar, and Suparna Bhattacharya at OLS'2006, and corresponding presentation.
RCU was thus fully functional in 2.5.45 and later Linux kernels, just in time for the Halloween functionality freeze.
The Reiser4 filesystem uses RCU to defer freeing of jnodes.

 Reader-Writer-Locking/RCU Analogy
Although RCU has been used in a great many interesting and surprising ways, one of the most straightforward is as a replacement for reader-writer locking.
When changing to RCU, write-side reader-writer locking code that modifies list elements in place must often be restructured to prevent read-side RCU code from seeing the data in an inconsistent state.
RCU has also been used as a lazy barrier synchronization mechanism, as a mode-change control mechanism, as well as for more sophisticated list maintenance.

 Kernel Korner - Using RCU in the Linux 2.5 Kernel | Linux Journal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
RCU is the best option overall as long as fewer than about one-third of the accesses are updates.
The trick is RCUs reading CPUs are not permitted to block while traversing the data structure, the same as when CPUs holding a spinlock or rwlock are not permitted to block.
Although RCU has been used in many interesting and surprising ways, one of the most straightforward uses is as a replacement for reader-writer locking.

 LWN: Patch: Real-Time Preemption and RCU
This means that the real-time preemption variant of RCU is subject to deadlock conditions that "classic" RCU is immune to.
Since RCU is used from softirq state, a realtime implementation must either eliminate softirq and interrupt states, eliminate use of RCU from these states, or make RCU callable from these states.
RCU permits a read-side critical section to acquire the corresponding write-side lock.

 Scaling dcache with RCU
RCU (read-copy update), a synchronization technique optimized for read-mostly data structures, recently was added to the Linux 2.6 kernel.
The 2.6 dcache is but one step along the road to RCU; the goal for 2.7 is to walk the entire path without acquiring any locks.
Figure 9 shows the performance of a multiuser benchmark running on a Linux 2.5.59 kernel patched to use RCU in the directory-entry cache compared to the performance of an unpatched kernel.

 Documentation
Dell recommends that you run the RCU from a diskette because it is not compatible with all operating systems.
After the RCU has configured all your Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards, you can use the utility to lock the configuration of your Plug and Play and PCI expansion cards so that they are always assigned the same resources.
It is extremely unusual for the RCU to fail in resolving a resource conflict between two PCI expansion cards.

 LKML: Christoph Lameter: Move struct file RCU handling into the slab allocator?
Excessive number of RCU callbacks can be generated causing long RCU queues that in turn cause long latencies.
A close followed by another open is very fast with the RCU less approach because the last freed object is returned by the slab allocator that is still cache hot.
RCU free means that the object is not immediately available again.

 RCU Implementation
The performance of RCU is critically dependent on an efficient implementation of the
The more efficient the implementation, the greater the number of situations that RCU may profitably be applied to.
However, grace-period latency is also an important measure of performance - while CPU overhead negates the performance benefits of RCU, excessively long grace-period latencies can result in all available memory queued up waiting for a grace period to end.
