Hi,
This is a set of releases for the stable branches of the Userspace
RCU library.
liburcu is a LGPLv2.1 userspace RCU (read-copy-update) library. This
data synchronization library provides read-side access which scales
linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiple
copies of a given data structure to live at the same time, and by
monitoring the data structure accesses to detect grace periods after
which memory reclamation is possible.
liburcu-cds provides efficient data structures based on RCU and
lock-free algorithms. Those structures include hash tables, queues,
stacks, and doubly-linked lists.
On versions 0.8 and 0.9, the fixes introduced target pretty much only
the Cygwin port.
On 0.10, the use of SHARED membarrier by liburcu-bp is removed,
because this kernel system call sometimes takes between 10-100ms
to execute, which is not acceptable for some workloads. Note:
a new PRIVATE_EXPEDITED membarrier is introduced in kernel 4.14,
and the next version of liburcu will use it when available [1].
