I think this is the fundamental divergence in parlance.
You seem to associate a barrier with a (single) variable, where normally
a barrier is between two (or more) variables.
As you wrote in that other email (I'm stlil going through all that);
your MB5 isn't desc_list.newest, but rather between desc_list.newest and
descr.next.
Remember, the topic is called 'memory ordering', and you cannot order
singles.
