+ * Result: Never
+ *
+ * This litmus test demonstrates that an RCU reader can never see a write that
+ * follows a grace period, if it did not see writes that precede that grace
+ * period.
+ *
+ * This is a typical pattern of RCU usage, where the write before the grace
+ * period assigns a pointer, and the writes following the grace period destroy
+ * the object that the pointer used to point to.
+ *
+ * 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.
