12  * read_barrier_depends - Flush all pending reads that subsequents reads
13  * depend on.
14  *
15  * No data-dependent reads from memory-like regions are ever reordered
16  * over this barrier.  All reads preceding this primitive are guaranteed
17  * to access memory (but not necessarily other CPUs' caches) before any
18  * reads following this primitive that depend on the data return by
19  * any of the preceding reads.  This primitive is much lighter weight than
20  * rmb() on most CPUs, and is never heavier weight than is
21  * rmb().
22  *
23  * These ordering constraints are respected by both the local CPU
24  * and the compiler.
25  *
26  * Ordering is not guaranteed by anything other than these primitives,
27  * not even by data dependencies.  See the documentation for
28  * memory_barrier() for examples and URLs to more information.
29  *
30  * For example, the following code would force ordering (the initial
31  * value of "a" is zero, "b" is one, and "p" is "&a"):
32  *
33  * <programlisting>
34  *	CPU 0				CPU 1
35  *
36  *	b = 2;
37  *	memory_barrier();
38  *	p = &b;				q = p;
39  *					read_barrier_depends();
40  *					d = *q;
41  * </programlisting>
42  *
43  * because the read of "*q" depends on the read of "p" and these
44  * two reads are separated by a read_barrier_depends().  However,
45  * the following code, with the same initial values for "a" and "b":
46  *
47  * <programlisting>
48  *	CPU 0				CPU 1
49  *
50  *	a = 2;
51  *	memory_barrier();
52  *	b = 3;				y = b;
53  *					read_barrier_depends();
54  *					x = a;
55  * </programlisting>
56  *
57  * does not enforce ordering, since there is no data dependency between
58  * the read of "a" and the read of "b".  Therefore, on some CPUs, such
59  * as Alpha, "y" could be set to 3 and "x" to 0.  Use rmb()
60  * in cases like this where there are no data dependencies.
