But there is no guarantee other thread will see the r->queue[r->consumer_head] being NULL because there is no explicit barrier between r->queue[] clearing and r->consumer_head updating. So add two explicit barrier to make sure r->queue[] cleared in __ptr_ring_discard_one() to be visible to other cpu, mainly to make sure the cpu calling the __ptr_ring_empty() will see the correct r->queue[r->consumer_head]. Hopefully the previous and this patch have ensured the correct visibility of r->queue[], so update the comment accordingly about __ptr_ring_empty().
