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