    documentation: Clarify RCU memory barriers and requirements · 4b689330
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    The RCU requirements do not make it absolutely clear that the
    memory-barrier requirements are not intended to replace the fundamental
    requirement that all pre-existing RCU readers complete before a grace
    period completes.  This commit therefore pulls the memory-barrier
    requirements into a separate section and explicitly calls out the
    relationship between the memory-barrier requirements and the fundamental
    requirement.
