All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed * to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any * reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by * any of the preceding reads. This primitive is much lighter weight than * rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is * rmb(). * * These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU * and the compiler. * * Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives, * not even by data dependencies. See the documentation for * memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information. * * For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial * value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"): * * <programlisting> * CPU 0 CPU 1 * * b = 2; * memory_barrier(); * p = &b; q = p; * read_barrier_depends(); * d = *q; * </programlisting> * * because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these * two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends(). However, * the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b": * * <programlisting> * CPU 0 CPU 1 * * a = 2; * memory_barrier(); * b = 3; y = b; * read_barrier_depends(); * x = a; * </programlisting> * * does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between * the read of "a" and the read of "b". Therefore, on some CPUs, such * as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0. Use rmb() * in cases like this where there are no data dependencies. */ #define read_barrier_depends() __asm__ __volatile__("mb": : :"memory") #ifdef CONFIG_SMP #define __ASM_SMP_MB "\tmb\n" #else #define __ASM_SMP_MB #endif #include <asm-generic/barrier.h> #endif /* __BARRIER_H */
