* All memory accesses performed in program order from each targeted thread

* is guaranteed to be ordered with respect to sys_membarrier(). If we use

|
|
* accesses to be performed in program order across the barrier, and
|
|
* smp_mb() to represent explicit memory barriers forcing full memory
|
|
* ordering across the barrier, we have the following ordering table for
|
|
* each pair of barrier(), sys_membarrier() and smp_mb():
|
|
*
|
|
* The pair ordering is detailed as (O: ordered, X: not ordered):
|
|
*
|
|
* barrier() smp_mb() sys_membarrier()
|
|
* barrier() X X O
|
|
* smp_mb() X O O
|
