The meat and potatoes of READ_ONCE() is defined by the __READ_ONCE() macro, which uses a volatile casts in an attempt to avoid tearing of byte, halfword, word and double-word accesses. Allow this to be overridden by the architecture code in the case that things like memory barriers are also required. Acked-by: Paul E.
