documentation: Remove obsolete reference to RCU-protected indexes
Commit #1ebee8017d84 (rcu: Eliminate array-index-based RCU primitives) eliminated the primitives supporting RCU-protected array indexes, but failed to update Documentation/memory-barriers.txt accordingly. This commit therefore removes the discussion of RCU-protected array indexes. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Another example of where data dependency barriers might be required is where a
|
||||
number is read from memory and then used to calculate the index for an array

access:

=============== ===============

{ M[0] == 1, M[1] == 2, M[3] = 3, P == 0, Q == 3 }
|

M[1] = 4;

<write barrier>
|

WRITE_ONCE(P, 1);
|

Q = READ_ONCE(P);

D = M[Q];
|

|

|

The data dependency barrier is very important to the RCU system,
|
||||
for example. See rcu_assign_pointer() and rcu_dereference() in
|
||||
include/linux/rcupdate.h. This permits the current target of an RCU'd
