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

* Result: Never | ||
* | ||
* 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. | ||
