41 * http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/lguest/2009-July/001560.html

65 * One of the more tricksy tricks in the Linux Kernel is a technique called
66 * Read Copy Update. Since one point of lguest is to teach lguest journeyers
67 * about kernel coding, I use it here. (In case you're curious, other purposes

75 * than this code does.

78 * element. Then we make the lg eventfd pointer point to the new array.
79 * That's the easy part: now we need to free the old one, but we need to make
80 * sure no slow CPU somewhere is still looking at it. That's what
81 * synchronize_rcu does for us: waits until every CPU has indicated that it has
