Correctness requires the grace-period anchor written by srcu_gp_start() to precede the smp_mb() ordering the lock scan. This ordering ensures that any reader whose lock increment is missed by the scan cannot have incremented its lock counter before the grace-period anchor, and therefore cannot be a pre-existing reader of this grace period. This litmus test models the key ordering between the grace-period anchor and the lock counter scan, where "seq" models the grace-period anchor in ->srcu_gp_seq and "ctr" models the per-CPU ->srcu_ctrs[].srcu_locks counter. P0 writes the anchor before the smp_mb() and the lock scan. P1 models the reader-side counter increment. P2 models an observer that sees the reader's increment before seeing the anchor. The outcome is forbidden by LKMM, and herd7 reports "Never". See SRCU-fastpath-scan-before-anchor.litmus for the reversed ordering, which permits this outcome. Tested with herd7 7.58 using linux-kernel.cfg.
