 * Note: The po-unlock-lock-po relation only passes the lock to the direct

 * smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() fence only affects a single lock handover.
 * However, in a longer sequence of lock handovers, the implicit
 * A-cumulative release fences of lock-release ensure that any stores that
 * propagate to one of the involved CPUs before it hands over the lock to
 * the next CPU will also propagate to the final CPU handing over the lock
 * to the CPU that executes the fence.  Therefore, all those stores are
 * also affected by the fence.

(*
 * Effects of read-side critical sections proceed from the rcu_read_unlock()
 * or srcu_read_unlock() backwards on the one hand, and from the
 * rcu_read_lock() or srcu_read_lock() forwards on the other hand.
 *
 * In the definition of rcu-fence below, the po term at the left-hand side
 * of each disjunct and the po? term at the right-hand end have been factored
 * out.  They have been moved into the definitions of rcu-link and rb.
 * This was necessary in order to apply the "& loc" tests correctly.

 * one but two non-rf relations, but only in conjunction with an RCU
 * read-side critical section.
 *)
let rcu-link = po? ; hb* ; pb* ; prop ; po

(*
 * Any sequence containing at least as many grace periods as RCU read-side
 * critical sections (joined by rcu-link) induces order like a generalized
 * inter-CPU strong fence.
 * Likewise for SRCU grace periods and read-side critical sections, provided
 * the synchronize_srcu() and srcu_read_[un]lock() calls refer to the same
 * struct srcu_struct location.
