As question says it all I was looking for in depth explanation of data-dependency barrier in SMP especially with respect to Linux Kernel. I have the definition and brief description handy in this link here.
Linux Kernel Memory Barriers Documentation
However I was attempting to get a profound understanding of this concept. Your thoughts and inputs are highly appreciated.

Actually, at least in terms of C++11, this is more closely related to consume semantics. You can read more about it e.g. here. In short, they provide weaker guarantees than acquire semantics, which makes them more efficient on certain platforms that support data dependency ordering.

In C++ terms, it is called memory_order_consume. See this presentation from Paul Mckenney.
