This is the first in a series of Open vSwitch tech talks that we are starting to run internally at VMware every week or two. This episode is particularly about read-copy-update, or RCU for short, which is a synchronization technique that allows reads to be very cheap (almost free), with some memory cost. This talk covers reasons why RCU can be preferred over other techniques, such as readers-writer locks, and its relationship with lockless synchronization and reference counts. It also covers some of the RCU API within OVS (and why OVS has its own API instead of using liburcu).

The ovs-rcu.h header from the OVS source repository is useful reading along with this episode.
