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.
46 * This ensures that the pointer copy is invariant thorough the whole critical
49 * Inserts memory barriers on architectures that require them (currently only
50 * Alpha) and documents which pointers are protected by RCU.
52 * The compiler memory barrier in CMM_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.
61 * Should match rcu_assign_pointer() or rcu_xchg_pointer().
63 * This macro is less than 10 lines long. The intent is that this macro
64 * meets the 10-line criterion in LGPL, allowing this function to be
65 * expanded directly in non-LGPL code.

74 * _rcu_cmpxchg_pointer - same as rcu_assign_pointer, but tests if the pointer
75 * is as expected by "old". If succeeds, returns the previous pointer to the
76 * data structure, which can be safely freed after waiting for a quiescent state
77 * using synchronize_rcu(). If fails (unexpected value), returns old (which
78 * should not be freed !).

123 * _rcu_assign_pointer - assign (publicize) a pointer to a new data structure

127 * Documents which pointers will be dereferenced by RCU read-side critical
128 * sections and adds the required memory barriers on architectures requiring
129 * them. It also makes sure the compiler does not reorder code initializing the
130 * data structure before its publication.
