35 * Instruct the compiler to perform only a single access to a variable
36 * (prohibits merging and refetching). The compiler is also forbidden to reorder
37 * successive instances of ACCESS_ONCE(), but only when the compiler is aware of
38 * particular ordering. Compiler ordering can be ensured, for example, by
39 * putting two ACCESS_ONCE() in separate C statements.

41 * This macro does absolutely -nothing- to prevent the CPU from reordering,
42 * merging, or refetching absolutely anything at any time. Its main intended
43 * use is to mediate communication between process-level code and irq/NMI
44 * handlers, all running on the same CPU.
