+RCU Library
+============
+
+Lock-less data structures provide scalability and determinism.
+They enable use cases where locking may not be allowed
+(for ex: real-time applications).
+
+In the following paras, the term 'memory' refers to memory allocated
+by typical APIs like malloc or anything that is representative of
+memory, for ex: an index of a free element array.
+
+Since these data structures are lock less, the writers and readers
+are accessing the data structures concurrently. Hence, while removing
+an element from a data structure, the writers cannot return the memory
+to the allocator, without knowing that the readers are not
+referencing that element/memory anymore. Hence, it is required to
+separate the operation of removing an element into 2 steps:
+
+Delete: in this step, the writer removes the reference to the element from
+the data structure but does not return the associated memory to the
+allocator. This will ensure that new readers will not get a reference to
+the removed element. Removing the reference is an atomic operation.
+
+Free(Reclaim): in this step, the writer returns the memory to the
+memory allocator, only after knowing that all the readers have stopped
+referencing the deleted element.
+
+This library helps the writer determine when it is safe to free the
+memory.
+
+This library makes use of thread Quiescent State (QS).
+
+What is Quiescent State
+-----------------------
+Quiescent State can be defined as 'any point in the thread execution where the
+thread does not hold a reference to shared memory'. It is up to the application
+to determine its quiescent state.
+
+Let us consider the following diagram:
+
+.. figure:: img/rcu_general_info.*
+
+
+As shown, reader thread 1 accesses data structures D1 and D2. When it is
+accessing D1, if the writer has to remove an element from D1, the
+writer cannot free the memory associated with that element immediately.
+The writer can return the memory to the allocator only after the reader
+stops referencing D1. In other words, reader thread RT1 has to enter
+a quiescent state.
+
+Similarly, since reader thread 2 is also accessing D1, writer has to
+wait till thread 2 enters quiescent state as well.
+
+However, the writer does not need to wait for reader thread 3 to enter
+quiescent state. Reader thread 3 was not accessing D1 when the delete
+operation happened. So, reader thread 1 will not have a reference to the
+deleted entry.
+
+It can be noted that, the critical sections for D2 is a quiescent state
+for D1. i.e. for a given data structure Dx, any point in the thread execution
+that does not reference Dx is a quiescent state.
+
+Since memory is not freed immediately, there might be a need for
+provisioning of additional memory, depending on the application requirements.
+
+Factors affecting RCU mechanism
+---------------------------------
+
+It is important to make sure that this library keeps the overhead of
+identifying the end of grace period and subsequent freeing of memory,
+to a minimum. The following paras explain how grace period and critical
+section affect this overhead.
+
+The writer has to poll the readers to identify the end of grace period.
+Polling introduces memory accesses and wastes CPU cycles. The memory
+is not available for reuse during grace period. Longer grace periods
+exasperate these conditions.
+
+The length of the critical section and the number of reader threads
+is proportional to the duration of the grace period. Keeping the critical
+sections smaller will keep the grace period smaller. However, keeping the
+critical sections smaller requires additional CPU cycles (due to additional
+reporting) in the readers.
+
+Hence, we need the characteristics of small grace period and large critical
+section. This library addresses this by allowing the writer to do
+other work without having to block till the readers report their quiescent
+state.
+
+RCU in DPDK
+-----------
+
+For DPDK applications, the start and end of while(1) loop (where no
+references to shared data structures are kept) act as perfect quiescent
+states. This will combine all the shared data structure accesses into a
+single, large critical section which helps keep the overhead on the
+reader side to a minimum.
+
+DPDK supports pipeline model of packet processing and service cores.
+In these use cases, a given data structure may not be used by all the
+workers in the application. The writer does not have to wait for all
+the workers to report their quiescent state. To provide the required
+flexibility, this library has a concept of QS variable. The application
+can create one QS variable per data structure to help it track the
+end of grace period for each data structure. This helps keep the grace
+period to a minimum.
+
+How to use this library
+-----------------------
+
+The application must allocate memory and initialize a QS variable.
+
+Application can call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_get_memsize`` to calculate the size
+of memory to allocate. This API takes maximum number of reader threads,
+using this variable, as a parameter. Currently, a maximum of 1024 threads
+are supported.
+
+Further, the application can initialize a QS variable using the API
+``rte_rcu_qsbr_init``.
+
+Each reader thread is assumed to have a unique thread ID. Currently, the
+management of the thread ID (for ex: allocation/free) is left to the
+application. The thread ID should be in the range of 0 to
+maximum number of threads provided while creating the QS variable.
+The application could also use lcore_id as the thread ID where applicable.
+
+``rte_rcu_qsbr_thread_register`` API will register a reader thread
+to report its quiescent state. This can be called from a reader thread.
+A control plane thread can also call this on behalf of a reader thread.
+The reader thread must call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_thread_online`` API to start
+reporting its quiescent state.
+
+Some of the use cases might require the reader threads to make
+blocking API calls (for ex: while using eventdev APIs). The writer thread
+should not wait for such reader threads to enter quiescent state.
+The reader thread must call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_thread_offline`` API, before calling
+blocking APIs. It can call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_thread_online`` API once the blocking
+API call returns.
+
+The writer thread can trigger the reader threads to report their quiescent
+state by calling the API ``rte_rcu_qsbr_start``. It is possible for multiple
+writer threads to query the quiescent state status simultaneously. Hence,
+``rte_rcu_qsbr_start`` returns a token to each caller.
+
+The writer thread must call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_check`` API with the token to
+get the current quiescent state status. Option to block till all the reader
+threads enter the quiescent state is provided. If this API indicates that
+all the reader threads have entered the quiescent state, the application
+can free the deleted entry.
+
+The APIs ``rte_rcu_qsbr_start`` and ``rte_rcu_qsbr_check`` are lock free.
+Hence, they can be called concurrently from multiple writers even while
+running as worker threads.
+
+The separation of triggering the reporting from querying the status provides
+the writer threads flexibility to do useful work instead of blocking for the
+reader threads to enter the quiescent state or go offline. This reduces the
+memory accesses due to continuous polling for the status.
+
+``rte_rcu_qsbr_synchronize`` API combines the functionality of
+``rte_rcu_qsbr_start`` and blocking ``rte_rcu_qsbr_check`` into a single API.
+This API triggers the reader threads to report their quiescent state and
+polls till all the readers enter the quiescent state or go offline. This
+API does not allow the writer to do useful work while waiting and
+introduces additional memory accesses due to continuous polling.
+
+The reader thread must call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_thread_offline`` and
+``rte_rcu_qsbr_thread_unregister`` APIs to remove itself from reporting its
+quiescent state. The ``rte_rcu_qsbr_check`` API will not wait for this reader
+thread to report the quiescent state status anymore.
+
+The reader threads should call ``rte_rcu_qsbr_quiescent`` API to indicate that
+they entered a quiescent state. This API checks if a writer has triggered a
+quiescent state query and update the state accordingly.
+
+The ``rte_rcu_qsbr_lock`` and ``rte_rcu_qsbr_unlock`` are empty functions.
+However, when ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_RCU_DEBUG`` is enabled, these APIs aid
+in debugging issues. One can mark the access to shared data structures on the
+reader side using these APIs. The ``rte_rcu_qsbr_quiescent`` will check if
+all the locks are unlocked.
