Beyond Linux® From Scratch (System V Edition) - Version 12.2

Chapter 9. General Libraries

liburcu-0.14.0

Introduction to liburcu

The userspace-rcu package provides a set of userspace RCU (read-copy-update) libraries. These data synchronization libraries provide read-side access which scales linearly with the number of cores. It does so by allowing multiples 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.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.2 platform.
