D.4.2 Overview of Preemptible RCU Algorithm

This section focuses on a specific implementation of preemptible RCU. Many other implementations are possible, and are described elsewhere [MSMB06,MS05]. This article focuses on this specific implementation's general approach, the data structures, the grace-period state machine, and a walk through the read-side primitives.
