    tools/memory-model: Update Documentation/explanation.txt to include SRCU support · 648e7175
    Alan Stern authored
    The recent commit adding support for SRCU to the Linux Kernel Memory
    Model ended up changing the names and meanings of several relations.
    This patch updates the explanation.txt documentation file to reflect
    those changes.
    
    It also revises the statement of the RCU Guarantee to a more accurate
    form, and it adds a short paragraph mentioning the new support for SRCU.
