    rcu: Document alternative RCU/reference-count algorithms · a4d611fd
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    The approach for mixing RCU and reference counting listed in the RCU
    documentation only describes one possible approach.  This approach can
    result in failure on the read side, which is nice if you want fresh data,
    but not so good if you want simple code.  This commit therefore adds
    two additional approaches that feature unconditional reference-count
    acquisition by RCU readers.  These approaches are very similar to that
    used in the security code.
