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 * With C standards prior to C11/C++11, the compiler memory barrier in
53 * CMM_LOAD_SHARED() ensures that value-speculative optimizations (e.g.
54 * VSS: Value Speculation Scheduling) does not perform the data read
55 * before the pointer read by speculating the value of the pointer.
56 * Correct ordering is ensured because the pointer is read as a volatile
57 * access. This acts as a global side-effect operation, which forbids
58 * reordering of dependent memory operations.
60 * With C standards C11/C++11, concerns about dependency-breaking
61 * optimizations are taken care of by the "memory_order_consume" atomic
64 * By defining URCU_DEREFERENCE_USE_VOLATILE, the user requires use of
65 * volatile access to implement rcu_dereference rather than
66 * memory_order_consume load from the C11/C++11 standards.
68 * This may improve performance on weakly-ordered architectures where
69 * the compiler implements memory_order_consume as a
70 * memory_order_acquire, which is stricter than required by the
73 * Note that using volatile accesses for rcu_dereference may cause
74 * LTO to generate incorrectly ordered code starting from C11/C++11.
76 * Should match rcu_assign_pointer() or rcu_xchg_pointer().
78 * This macro is less than 10 lines long. The intent is that this macro
79 * meets the 10-line criterion in LGPL, allowing this function to be
80 * expanded directly in non-LGPL code.
