MaxScale/server/core/atomic.c
Markus Makela ded551e199 Add function for full memory barrier into maxscale/atomic.h
This allows safer lock-free reads to be done on lists that never shrink in
size. The main use-case for this is to allow servers to be added to a
service without locking the service each time a new session is created.

Synchronizing the memory before adding new components into a list
guarantees that if a session reads from the list and sees the new list
item, the memory pointed by the item is valid.
