 Hash tables are often implemented as an array, where each array entry
 has a linked-list hash chain.  Each hash chain can be protected by RCU
 as described in the listRCU.txt document.  This approach also applies
 to other array-of-list situations, such as radix trees.

 PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF RETURN VALUES FROM rcu_dereference()
+===============================================================
 
 Most of the time, you can use values from rcu_dereference() or one of
 the similar primitives without worries.  Dereferencing (prefix "*"),

 It is nevertheless possible to get into trouble with other operations.
 Follow these rules to keep your RCU code working properly:

 	value of the pointer, and thus cause misordering.

+-	You are only permitted to use rcu_dereference on pointer values.
 	The compiler simply knows too much about integral values to
 	trust it to carry dependencies through integer operations.
 	There are a very few exceptions, namely that you can temporarily
 	cast the pointer to uintptr_t in order to:
 
-	o	Set bits and clear bits down in the must-be-zero low-order
+	-	Set bits and clear bits down in the must-be-zero low-order
 		bits of that pointer.  This clearly means that the pointer

-	o	XOR bits to translate pointers, as is done in some
+	-	XOR bits to translate pointers, as is done in some
 		classic buddy-allocator algorithms.
 
 	It is important to cast the value back to pointer before
 	doing much of anything else with it.

+-	Avoid cancellation when using the "+" and "-" infix arithmetic
 	operators.  For example, for a given variable "x", avoid
 	"(x-(uintptr_t)x)" for char* pointers.	The compiler is within its
 	rights to substitute zero for this sort of expression, so that
···
 	"p+a-b" is safe because its value still necessarily depends on
 	the rcu_dereference(), thus maintaining proper ordering.
 
-o	If you are using RCU to protect JITed functions, so that the

 	"()" function-invocation operator is applied to a value obtained
 	(directly or indirectly) from rcu_dereference(), you may need to
 	interact directly with the hardware to flush instruction caches.
 	This issue arises on some systems when a newly JITed function is
 	using the same memory that was used by an earlier JITed function.
 
-o	Do not use the results from relational operators ("==", "!=",

 	">", ">=", "<", or "<=") when dereferencing.  For example,

 	result in misordering bugs.
 
-o	Be very careful about comparing pointers obtained from

 	rcu_dereference() against non-NULL values.  As Linus Torvalds
 	explained, if the two pointers are equal, the compiler could
 	substitute the pointer you are comparing against for the pointer

 		p = rcu_dereference(gp);

 	the address of the variable "default_struct", it is free to

 	However, comparisons are OK in the following cases:

 		compiler knows that the pointer is NULL, you had better
 		not be dereferencing it anyway.  If the comparison is

 		against NULL pointers.
 
-	o	The pointer is never dereferenced after being compared.

 		of rcu_dereference().
 
-	o	The comparison is against a pointer that references memory

 		that was initialized "a long time ago."  The reason
 		this is safe is that even if misordering occurs, the
 		misordering will not affect the accesses that follow
 		the comparison.  So exactly how long ago is "a long
 		time ago"?  Here are some possibilities:

 EXAMPLE OF AMPLIFIED RCU-USAGE BUG
+----------------------------------
 
 Because updaters can run concurrently with RCU readers, RCU readers can
 see stale and/or inconsistent values.  If RCU readers need fresh or
 consistent values, which they sometimes do, they need to take proper
-precautions.  To see this, consider the following code fragment:

 other pointer, the compiler normally has no clue what the value of the

 pointers, which can result in "interesting" bugs due to compiler
 optimizations involving invented loads and perhaps also load tearing.

 Your module might have additional complications. For example, if your
 module invokes call_rcu() from timers, you will need to first cancel all
···
 rcu_barrier() before unloading.  Similarly, if your module uses
 call_srcu(), you will need to invoke srcu_barrier() before unloading,
 and on the same srcu_struct structure.  If your module uses call_rcu()
--and- call_srcu(), then you will need to invoke rcu_barrier() -and-
+**and** call_srcu(), then you will need to invoke rcu_barrier() **and**
 srcu_barrier().
 
 
 Implementing rcu_barrier()
+--------------------------
 
 Dipankar Sarma's implementation of rcu_barrier() makes use of the fact
 that RCU callbacks are never reordered once queued on one of the per-CPU
···
 callback queues, and then waits until they have all started executing, at
 which point, all earlier RCU callbacks are guaranteed to have completed.
 
-The original code for rcu_barrier() was as follows:

- 5   mutex_lock(&rcu_barrier_mutex);

- 7   atomic_set(&rcu_barrier_cpu_count, 0);
- 8   on_each_cpu(rcu_barrier_func, NULL, 0, 1);
- 9   wait_for_completion(&rcu_barrier_completion);

 4.  WHAT IF MY UPDATING THREAD CANNOT BLOCK?
+--------------------------------------------
 
 In the example above, foo_update_a() blocks until a grace period elapses.
 This is quite simple, but in some cases one cannot afford to wait so
 long -- there might be other high-priority work to be done.
 
 In such cases, one uses call_rcu() rather than synchronize_rcu().
-The call_rcu() API is as follows:
+The call_rcu() API is as follows::
 
 	void call_rcu(struct rcu_head * head,
 		      void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head));
···
 This function invokes func(head) after a grace period has elapsed.
 This invocation might happen from either softirq or process context,
 so the function is not permitted to block.  The foo struct needs to
-have an rcu_head structure added, perhaps as follows:
+have an rcu_head structure added, perhaps as follows::

+The foo_update_a() function might then be written as follows::
 
 	/*
 	 * Create a new struct foo that is the same as the one currently

 	}
 
-The foo_reclaim() function might appear as follows:
+The foo_reclaim() function might appear as follows::
 
 	void foo_reclaim(struct rcu_head *rp)

 The summary of advice is the same as for the previous section, except

 If the callback for call_rcu() is not doing anything more than calling
 kfree() on the structure, you can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu()

 familiar locking primitives.  Its overhead makes it a non-starter for

 5B.  "TOY" EXAMPLE #2: CLASSIC RCU
-
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 This section presents a "toy" RCU implementation that is based on
 "classic RCU".  It is also short on performance (but only for updates) and
 on features such as hotplug CPU and the ability to run in CONFIG_PREEMPT
 kernels.  The definitions of rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer()
 are the same as those shown in the preceding section, so they are omitted.
+::
 
 	void rcu_read_lock(void) { }
 
···
 in terms of the sched_setaffinity() primitive.  Of course, a somewhat less
 "toy" implementation would restore the affinity upon completion rather
 than just leaving all tasks running on the last CPU, but when I said
-"toy", I meant -toy-!
+"toy", I meant **toy**!
 
 So how the heck is this supposed to work???
 
 Remember that it is illegal to block while in an RCU read-side critical
 section.  Therefore, if a given CPU executes a context switch, we know
 that it must have completed all preceding RCU read-side critical sections.
-Once -all- CPUs have executed a context switch, then -all- preceding
+Once **all** CPUs have executed a context switch, then **all** preceding
 RCU read-side critical sections will have completed.
 
 So, suppose that we remove a data item from its structure and then invoke
···
 that there are no RCU read-side critical sections holding a reference
 to that data item, so we can safely reclaim it.

 6.  ANALOGY WITH READER-WRITER LOCKING
+--------------------------------------
 
 Although RCU can be used in many different ways, a very common use of
 RCU is analogous to reader-writer locking.  The following unified
 diff shows how closely related RCU and reader-writer locking can be.

 to rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock, update-side locking moves from

 mechanism that never blocks, namely call_rcu() or kfree_rcu(), that can
 be used in place of synchronize_rcu().
