+/*
+ * Prevent the compiler from merging or refetching reads or writes. The
+ * compiler is also forbidden from reordering successive instances of
+ * READ_ONCE, WRITE_ONCE and ACCESS_ONCE (see below), but only when the
+ * compiler is aware of some particular ordering.  One way to make the
+ * compiler aware of ordering is to put the two invocations of READ_ONCE,
+ * WRITE_ONCE or ACCESS_ONCE() in different C statements.
+ *
+ * In contrast to ACCESS_ONCE these two macros will also work on aggregate
+ * data types like structs or unions. If the size of the accessed data
+ * type exceeds the word size of the machine (e.g., 32 bits or 64 bits)
+ * READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()  will fall back to memcpy and print a
+ * compile-time warning.
+ *
+ * Their two major use cases are: (1) Mediating communication between
+ * process-level code and irq/NMI handlers, all running on the same CPU,
+ * and (2) Ensuring that the compiler does not  fold, spindle, or otherwise
+ * mutilate accesses that either do not require ordering or that interact
+ * with an explicit memory barrier or atomic instruction that provides the
+ * required ordering.
