tools/memory-model: Rename some RCU relations
In preparation for adding support for SRCU, rename "crit" to "rcu-rscs", rename "rscs" to "rcu-rscsi", and remove the restriction to only the outermost level of nesting. The name change is needed for disambiguating RCU read-side critical sections from SRCU read-side critical sections. Adding the "i" at the end of "rcu-rscsi" emphasizes that the relation is inverted; it links rcu_read_unlock() events to their corresponding preceding rcu_read_lock() events. The restriction to outermost nesting levels was never essential; it was included mostly to show that it could be done. Rather than add equivalent unnecessary code for SRCU lock nesting, it seemed better to remove the existing code. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
