+ * This is a novel safe memory reclamation technique inspired by
+ * epoch based reclamation from Samy Al Bahra's concurrency kit which
+ * in turn was based on work described in:
+ * Fraser, K. 2004. Practical Lock-Freedom. PhD Thesis, University
+ * of Cambridge Computing Laboratory.
+ * And shares some similarities with:
+ * Wang, Stamler, Parmer. 2016 Parallel Sections: Scaling System-Level
+ * Data-Structures
+ *
+ * This is not an implementation of hazard pointers or related
+ * techniques. The term safe memory reclamation is used as a
+ * generic descriptor for algorithms that defer frees to avoid
+ * use-after-free errors with lockless datastructures.
+ *
+ * The basic approach is to maintain a monotonic write sequence
+ * number that is updated on some application defined granularity.
+ * Readers record the most recent write sequence number they have
+ * observed. A shared read sequence number records the lowest
+ * sequence number observed by any reader as of the last poll. Any
+ * write older than this value has been observed by all readers
+ * and memory can be reclaimed. Like Epoch we also detect idle
+ * readers by storing an invalid sequence number in the per-cpu
+ * state when the read section exits. Like Parsec we establish
+ * a global write clock that is used to mark memory on free.
+ *
+ * The write and read sequence numbers can be thought of as a two
+ * handed clock with readers always advancing towards writers. SMR
+ * maintains the invariant that all readers can safely access memory
+ * that was visible at the time they loaded their copy of the sequence
+ * number. Periodically the read sequence or hand is polled and
+ * advanced as far towards the write sequence as active readers allow.
+ * Memory which was freed between the old and new global read sequence
+ * number can now be reclaimed. When the system is idle the two hands
+ * meet and no deferred memory is outstanding. Readers never advance
+ * any sequence number, they only observe them. The shared read
+ * sequence number is consequently never higher than the write sequence.
+ * A stored sequence number that falls outside of this range has expired
+ * and needs no scan to reclaim.
+ *
+ * A notable distinction between this SMR and Epoch, qsbr, rcu, etc. is
+ * that advancing the sequence number is decoupled from detecting its
+ * observation. This results in a more granular assignment of sequence
+ * numbers even as read latencies prohibit all or some expiration.
+ * It also allows writers to advance the sequence number and save the
+ * poll for expiration until a later time when it is likely to
+ * complete without waiting. The batch granularity and free-to-use
+ * latency is dynamic and can be significantly smaller than in more
+ * strict systems.
+ *
+ * This mechanism is primarily intended to be used in coordination with
+ * UMA. By integrating with the allocator we avoid all of the callout
+ * queue machinery and are provided with an efficient way to batch
+ * sequence advancement and waiting. The allocator accumulates a full
+ * per-cpu cache of memory before advancing the sequence. It then
+ * delays waiting for this sequence to expire until the memory is
+ * selected for reuse. In this way we only increment the sequence
+ * value once for n=cache-size frees and the waits are done long
+ * after the sequence has been expired so they need only be verified
+ * to account for pathological conditions and to advance the read
+ * sequence. Tying the sequence number to the bucket size has the
+ * nice property that as the zone gets busier the buckets get larger
+ * and the sequence writes become fewer. If the coherency of advancing
+ * the write sequence number becomes too costly we can advance
+ * it for every N buckets in exchange for higher free-to-use
+ * latency and consequently higher memory consumption.
+ *
+ * If the read overhead of accessing the shared cacheline becomes
+ * especially burdensome an invariant TSC could be used in place of the
+ * sequence. The algorithm would then only need to maintain the minimum
+ * observed tsc. This would trade potential cache synchronization
+ * overhead for local serialization and cpu timestamp overhead.
