Both the above litmus tests demonstrate the RCU grace period guarantee
|

|
that an RCU read-side critical section can never span a grace period.

|
* This litmus test demonstrates that after a grace period, an RCU updater always
|
||||||
|
* sees all stores done in prior RCU read-side critical sections. Such
|
||||||
|
* read-side critical sections would have ended before the grace period ended.
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* This is one implication of the RCU grace-period guarantee, which says (among
|
||||||
|
* other things) that an RCU read-side critical section cannot span a grace period.
