  69 * One of the more tricksy tricks in the Linux Kernel is a technique called
  70 * Read Copy Update.  Since one point of lguest is to teach lguest journeyers
  71 * about kernel coding, I use it here.  (In case you're curious, other purposes
  72 * include learning about virtualization and instilling a deep appreciation for
  73 * simplicity and puppies).

  75 * We keep a simple array which maps LHCALL_NOTIFY values to eventfds, but we
  76 * add new eventfds without ever blocking readers from accessing the array.
  77 * The current Launcher only does this during boot, so that never happens.  But
  78 * Read Copy Update is cool, and adding a lock risks damaging even more puppies
  79 * than this code does.
  80 *
  81 * We allocate a brand new one-larger array, copy the old one and add our new
  82 * element.  Then we make the lg eventfd pointer point to the new array.
  83 * That's the easy part: now we need to free the old one, but we need to make
  84 * sure no slow CPU somewhere is still looking at it.  That's what
  85 * synchronize_rcu does for us: waits until every CPU has indicated that it has
  86 * moved on to know it's no longer using the old one.
