This ignores the comment above that function:

* for example cpu_relax().
*/

Yes, __ptr_ring_swap_queue() ignores this too.


Also - it looks like it shouldn't matter if reads are reordered but I wonder.
Thoughts? Including some reasoning about it in commit log would be nice.

Yes, I think it doesn't matter in this case, it matters only for batched producing.

Thanks
