This patch series reorganizes RCU-related cat-file rules: 1. Renames link and rcu-path to rcu-link and rb, respectively. This avoids unfortunate name collisions with "link" the rule and "link" the concept. Courtesy of Alan Stern. 2. Redefines "rb" in terms of rcu-fence, explicitly expressing the fence-like properties of RCU grace periods. Courtesy of Alan Stern.
