17 | * Macros to force memory ordering. In these descriptions, "previous" | ||
18 | * and "subsequent" refer to program order; "visible" means that all | ||
19 | * architecturally visible effects of a memory access have occurred | ||
20 | * (at a minimum, this means the memory has been read or written). | ||
21 | * | ||
22 | * wmb(): Guarantees that all preceding stores to memory- | ||
23 | * like regions are visible before any subsequent | ||
24 | * stores and that all following stores will be | ||
25 | * visible only after all previous stores. | ||
26 | * rmb(): Like wmb(), but for reads. | ||
27 | * mb(): wmb()/rmb() combo, i.e., all previous memory | ||
28 | * accesses are visible before all subsequent | ||
29 | * accesses and vice versa. This is also known as | ||
30 | * a "fence." | ||
31 | * | ||
32 | * Note: "mb()" and its variants cannot be used as a fence to order | ||
33 | * accesses to memory mapped I/O registers. For that, mf.a needs to | ||
34 | * be used. However, we don't want to always use mf.a because (a) | ||
35 | * it's (presumably) much slower than mf and (b) mf.a is supported for | ||
36 | * sequential memory pages only. | ||
