Subject: [RELEASE] Userspace RCU 0.8.9
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2016 21:15:07 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <697307935.70382.1461705307398.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com> (raw)
Hi,
This is a bugfix release (0.8.9) for the Userspace RCU library.
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.
Changelog:
2016-04-26 Userspace RCU 0.8.9
* Fix: handle reference count overflow
* Fix: compat_futex should work-around futex signal-restart kernel bug
* Fix: urcu-signal: smp_mb_master() needs registry lock
* Fix: rculfhash only needs to include urcu-pointers.h
* Fix: format string signedness
* Use gcc atomics on aarch64/powerpc64le
* Fix: compat_futex: uninitialized ret variable
* Fix: compat_futex_noasync: don't override return value
* Fix: stable-0.8 branch does not have syscall-compat.h
