What are the rcu_sched and rcu_bh?

I've found 2 processes shown below using ps -aux

root 7 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 11:23 0:06 [rcu_sched]
root 8 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 11:23 0:00 [rcu_bh]
root 6267 0.0 0.0 12944 1036 pts/0 S+ 14:36 0:00 grep --color=auto rcu

I understand the concept behind RCU(Read, Copy, Update) I just some clarification on what the 2 processes precisely do as I'm struggling to find online documentation. Can anyone advise?
