17 * Macros to force memory ordering. In these descriptions, "previous"
18 * and "subsequent" refer to program order; "visible" means that all
19 * architecturally visible effects of a memory access have occurred
20 * (at a minimum, this means the memory has been read or written).
22 * wmb(): Guarantees that all preceding stores to memory-
23 * like regions are visible before any subsequent
24 * stores and that all following stores will be
25 * visible only after all previous stores.
26 * rmb(): Like wmb(), but for reads.
27 * mb(): wmb()/rmb() combo, i.e., all previous memory
28 * accesses are visible before all subsequent
29 * accesses and vice versa. This is also known as
32 * Note: "mb()" and its variants cannot be used as a fence to order
33 * accesses to memory mapped I/O registers. For that, mf.a needs to
34 * be used. However, we don't want to always use mf.a because (a)
35 * it's (presumably) much slower than mf and (b) mf.a is supported for
36 * sequential memory pages only.
