+Using RCU to Protect Read-Mostly Arrays
+=======================================
 
 Although RCU is more commonly used to protect linked lists, it can
 also be used to protect arrays.  Three situations are as follows:

 Each of these three situations involves an RCU-protected pointer to an
 array that is separately indexed.  It might be tempting to consider use
 of RCU to instead protect the index into an array, however, this use

 Situation 1: Hash Tables
+------------------------
 
 Hash tables are often implemented as an array, where each array entry
 has a linked-list hash chain.  Each hash chain can be protected by RCU

 to other array-of-list situations, such as radix trees.
