    tools/memory-model: Rename link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb · 1ee2da5f
    Alan Stern authored May 14, 2018
    
    
    This patch makes a simple non-functional change to the RCU portion of
    the Linux Kernel Memory Consistency Model by renaming the "link" and
    "rcu-path" relations to "rcu-link" and "rb", respectively.
    
    The name "link" was an unfortunate choice, because it was too generic
    and subject to confusion with other meanings of the same word, which
    occur quite often in LKMM documentation.  The name "rcu-path" is not
    very appropriate, because the relation is analogous to the
    happens-before (hb) and propagates-before (pb) relations -- although
    that fact won't become apparent until the second patch in this series.
