C Z6.0+pooncerelease+poacquirerelease+fencembonceonce

(*
 * Result: Sometimes
 *
 * This litmus test shows that a release-acquire chain, while sufficient
 * when there is but one non-reads-from (AKA non-rf) link, does not suffice
 * if there is more than one.  Of the three processes, only P1() reads from
 * P0's write, which means that there are two non-rf links: P1() to P2()
 * is a write-to-write link (AKA a "coherence" or just "co" link) and P2()
 * to P0() is a read-to-write link (AKA a "from-reads" or just "fr" link).
 * When there are two or more non-rf links, you typically will need one
 * full barrier for each non-rf link.  (Exceptions include some cases
 * involving locking.)
