Hi,
This is a 0.11 release of the Userspace RCU project.
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.
Here is the high-level view of the changes introduced in this release:
* Allow combining many urcu flavors within the same
compile unit. Prefix public APIs with urcu_<flavor>_ prefix. Keep old
symbols as aliases for backward compatibility.
* liburcu flavors public headers are moved, including them from previous
headers for backward compatibility:
urcu-bp.h -> urcu/urcu-bp.h
urcu-qsbr.h -> urcu/urcu-qsbr.h
urcu.h -> urcu/urcu-memb.h
urcu.h (after #define RCU_MEMBARRIER) -> urcu/urcu-memb.h
urcu.h (after #define RCU_MB) -> urcu/urcu-mb.h
urcu.h (after #define RCU_SIGNAL) -> urcu/urcu-mb.h
* The library liburcu is renamed to liburcu-memb, keeping the old
library name as alias for backward compatibility.
* RCU lock-free hash table debugging:
--enable-cds-lfht-iter-debug is introduced.
Building liburcu with --enable-cds-lfht-iter-debug and rebuilding
application to match the ABI change allows finding cases where the hash
table iterator is re-purposed to be used on a different hash table
while still being used to iterate on a hash table.
This option alters the rculfhash ABI. Make sure to compile both library
and application with matching configuration.
* Added support for RISC-V architecture.
* Use membarrier PRIVATE_EXPEDITED when available from liburcu-bp and
liburcu-memb flavors.
The backward compatibility header files, library shared objects, and
symbols will be kept for a few liburcu versions before being removed, at
which point a major soname bump will happen.
As always, feedback is welcome!
Thanks,
Mathieu
