This adds an example for the important RCU grace period guarantee, which shows an RCU reader can never span a grace period. Acked-by: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>

|
|
* This litmus test demonstrates that an RCU reader can never see a write that
|
|
* follows a grace period, if it did not see writes that precede that grace
|
|
* period.
|
|
*
|
|
* This is a typical pattern of RCU usage, where the write before the grace
|
|
* period assigns a pointer, and the writes following the grace period destroy
|
|
* the object that the pointer used to point to.
|
|
*
|
|
* 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.
