The rcu-fence relation is important because the Grace Period Guarantee means that rcu-fence acts kind of like a strong fence.

(However, it does not imply that +E must execute before F; in fact, each synchronize_rcu() fence event +is linked to itself by rcu-fence as a degenerate case.) To prove this in full generality requires some intellectual effort. We'll consider just a very simple case: - W ->gp X ->rcu-link Y ->rscs Z. + G ->rcu-gp W ->rcu-link Z ->rcu-rscsi F. -This formula means that there is a grace period G and a critical -section C such that: +This formula means that G and W are the same event (a grace period), +and there are events X, Y and a read-side critical section C such that: - 1.

In particular, W propagates to every CPU before Z executes -(or finishes executing, in the case where Z is equal to the -rcu_read_lock() fence event which starts C.) This sort of reasoning -can be expanded to handle all the situations covered by rcu-fence. +From 1 - 4 we deduce that the grace period G ends before the critical +section C.

Putting this all together, the LKMM expresses the Grace Period Guarantee by requiring that the rb relation does not contain a cycle. -Equivalently, this "rcu" axiom requires that there are no events E and -F with E ->rcu-link F ->rcu-fence E.

Putting symbols to these ideas, let L and U be the rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() fence events delimiting the critical section in question, and let S be the synchronize_rcu() fence event for the grace period.
