+ * _rcu_dereference - reads (copy) a RCU-protected pointer to a local variable
+ * into a RCU read-side critical section. The pointer can later be safely
+ * dereferenced within the critical section.
+ *
+ * This ensures that the pointer copy is invariant thorough the whole critical
+ * section.
+ *
+ * Inserts memory barriers on architectures that require them (currently only
+ * Alpha) and documents which pointers are protected by RCU.
+ *
+ * The compiler memory barrier in CMM_LOAD_SHARED() ensures that value-speculative
+ * optimizations (e.g. VSS: Value Speculation Scheduling) does not perform the
+ * data read before the pointer read by speculating the value of the pointer.
+ * Correct ordering is ensured because the pointer is read as a volatile access.
+ * This acts as a global side-effect operation, which forbids reordering of
+ * dependent memory operations. Note that such concern about dependency-breaking
+ * optimizations will eventually be taken care of by the "memory_order_consume"
+ * addition to forthcoming C++ standard.
+ *
+ * Should match rcu_assign_pointer() or rcu_xchg_pointer().
+ *
+ * This macro is less than 10 lines long. The intent is that this macro
+ * meets the 10-line criterion in LGPL, allowing this function to be
+ * expanded directly in non-LGPL code.
