+ * 
+ * User space RCU is based on URCU utilizing signals [1]. This 
+ * implementation does not however signal each thread of the process 
+ * to issue a memory barrier. Instead, we introduced a syscall that
+ * issues memory barriers (via IPIs) on cpus that are running threads
+ * of the current process. First, it does not require us to schedule
+ * and run every thread of the process. Second, IPIs are less intrusive 
+ * than switching contexts and entering user space.
+ * 
+ * This algorithm is further modified to require a single instead of
+ * two reader group changes per grace period. Signal-URCU flips
+ * the reader group and waits for readers of the previous group 
+ * twice in succession in order to wait for new readers that were
+ * delayed and mistakenly associated with the previous reader group. 
+ * The modified algorithm ensures that the new reader group is
+ * always empty (by explicitly waiting for it to become empty).
+ * Only then does it flip the reader group and wait for preexisting
+ * readers of the old reader group (invariant of SRCU [2, 3]).

- * 
- * User space RCU is based on URCU utilizing signals [1]. This 
- * implementation does not however signal each thread of the process 
- * to issue a memory barrier. Instead, we introduced a syscall that
- * issues memory barriers (via IPIs) on cpus that are running threads
- * of the current process. First, it does not require us to schedule
- * and run every thread of the process. Second, IPIs are less intrusive 
- * than switching contexts and entering user space.
- * 
- * This algorithm is further modified to require a single instead of
- * two reader group changes per grace period. Signal-URCU flips
- * the reader group and waits for readers of the previous group 
- * twice in succession in order to wait for new readers that were
- * delayed and mistakenly associated with the previous reader group. 
- * The modified algorithm ensures that the new reader group is
- * always empty (by explicitly waiting for it to become empty).
- * Only then does it flip the reader group and wait for preexisting
- * readers of the old reader group (invariant of SRCU [2, 3]).
