Solaris/Illumos has a better name for this: `membar_producer()` and `membar_consumer()`. The first is release semantics, and it's what a producer must do before it finishes publishing some memory to a consumer. The second is what a consumer must do before it starts consuming what the producer gave it. I find that naming convention much more intuitive than release/acquire, though release/acquire is more general.
