See Documentation/memory-barriers.txt in Linux source code, on-line available for instance at http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/memory-barriers.txt for a good overview of the concepts and issues. The later parts of the document are kernel specific, but you may get more information than you want even before you get to these parts. Attempts to use atomic operations without considering memory access ordering guarantee subtle bugs...
