That should be implied. Our fallback functions issue compiler barriers too.

OK, I can add that.

Yes. I previously used kill() here for each child. When I changed that
I forgot to move it out of loop.

Strictly no, but it seems more consistent. I don't think we care about
performance impact of it.

I'll put it into single struct and single mmap.
