28 * read_barrier_depends - Flush all pending reads that subsequents reads
29 * depend on.
30 *
31 * No data-dependent reads from memory-like regions are ever reordered
32 * over this barrier. All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed
33 * to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any
34 * reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by
35 * any of the preceding reads. This primitive is much lighter weight than
36 * rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is
37 * rmb().
38 *
39 * These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU
40 * and the compiler.
41 *
42 * Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives,
43 * not even by data dependencies. See the documentation for
44 * memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information.
45 *
46 * For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
47 * value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
48 *
49 * <programlisting>
50 * CPU 0 CPU 1
51 *
52 * b = 2;
53 * memory_barrier();
54 * p = &b; q = p;
55 * read_barrier_depends();
56 * d = *q;
57 * </programlisting>
58 *
59 * because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
60 * two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However,
61 * the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
62 *
63 * <programlisting>
64 * CPU 0 CPU 1
65 *
66 * a = 2;
67 * memory_barrier();
68 * b = 3; y = b;
69 * read_barrier_depends();
70 * x = a;
71 * </programlisting>
72 *
73 * does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
74 * the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such
75 * as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0. Use rmb()
76 * in cases like this where there are no data dependencies.
