+/* Read-Copy-Update (RCU)
+ * ======================
+ *
+ * Introduction
+ * ------------
+ *
+ * Atomic pointer access makes it pretty easy to implement lock-free
+ * algorithms. There is one big problem, though: when a writer updates a
+ * pointer to point to a new data structure, some thread might be reading the
+ * old version, and there's no convenient way to free the old version when all
+ * threads are done with the old version.
+ *
+ * The function ovsrcu_postpone() solves that problem. The function pointer
+ * passed in as its argument is called only after all threads are done with old
+ * versions of data structures. The function callback frees an old version of
+ * data no longer in use. This technique is called "read-copy-update", or RCU
+ * for short.
+ *
+ *
+ * Details
+ * -------
+ *
+ * A "quiescent state" is a time at which a thread holds no pointers to memory
+ * that is managed by RCU; that is, when the thread is known not to reference
+ * memory that might be an old version of some object freed via RCU. For
+ * example, poll_block() includes a quiescent state, as does
+ * ovs_mutex_cond_wait().
+ *
+ * The following functions manage the recognition of quiescent states:
+ *
+ * void ovsrcu_quiesce(void)
+ *
+ * Recognizes a momentary quiescent state in the current thread.
+ *
+ * void ovsrcu_quiesce_start(void)
+ * void ovsrcu_quiesce_end(void)
+ *
+ * Brackets a time period during which the current thread is quiescent.
+ *
+ * A newly created thread is initially active, not quiescent.
+ *
+ * When a quiescient state has occurred in every thread, we say that a "grace
+ * period" has occurred. Following a grace period, all of the callbacks
+ * postponed before the start of the grace period may be invoked. OVS takes
+ * care of this automatically through the RCU mechanism: while a process still
+ * has only a single thread, it invokes the postponed callbacks directly from
+ * ovsrcu_quiesce() and ovsrcu_quiesce_start(); after additional threads have
+ * been created, it creates an extra helper thread to invoke callbacks.
+ *
+ *
+ * Use
+ * ---
+ *
+ * Use OVSRCU_TYPE(TYPE) to declare a pointer to RCU-protected data, e.g. the
+ * following declares an RCU-protected "struct flow *" named flowp:
+ *
+ * OVSRCU_TYPE(struct flow *) flowp;
+ *
+ * Use ovsrcu_get(TYPE, VAR) to read an RCU-protected pointer, e.g. to read the
+ * pointer variable declared above:
+ *
+ * struct flow *flow = ovsrcu_get(struct flow *, flowp);
+ *
+ * Use ovsrcu_set() to write an RCU-protected pointer and ovsrcu_postpone() to
+ * free the previous data. If more than one thread can write the pointer, then
+ * some form of external synchronization, e.g. a mutex, is needed to prevent
+ * writers from interfering with one another. For example, to write the
+ * pointer variable declared above while safely freeing the old value:
+ *
+ * static struct ovs_mutex mutex = OVS_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
+ *
+ * static void
+ * free_flow(struct flow *flow)
+ * {
+ * free(flow);
+ * }
+ *
+ * void
+ * change_flow(struct flow *new_flow)
+ * {
+ * ovs_mutex_lock(&mutex);
+ * ovsrcu_postpone(free_flow,
+ * ovsrcu_get_protected(struct flow *, &flowp));
+ * ovsrcu_set(&flowp, new_flow);
+ * ovs_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
+ * }
