41/**
42 * _rcu_dereference - reads (copy) a RCU-protected pointer to a local variable
43 * into a RCU read-side critical section. The pointer can later be safely
44 * dereferenced within the critical section.
45 *
46 * This ensures that the pointer copy is invariant thorough the whole critical
47 * section.
48 *
49 * Inserts memory barriers on architectures that require them (currently only
50 * Alpha) and documents which pointers are protected by RCU.
51 *
52 * The compiler memory barrier in LOAD_SHARED() ensures that value-speculative
53 * optimizations (e.g. VSS: Value Speculation Scheduling) does not perform the
54 * data read before the pointer read by speculating the value of the pointer.
55 * Correct ordering is ensured because the pointer is read as a volatile access.
56 * This acts as a global side-effect operation, which forbids reordering of
57 * dependent memory operations. Note that such concern about dependency-breaking
58 * optimizations will eventually be taken care of by the "memory_order_consume"
59 * addition to forthcoming C++ standard.
60 *
61 * Should match rcu_assign_pointer() or rcu_xchg_pointer().

74 * using synchronize_rcu(). If fails (unexpected value), returns old (which
