For anyone else curious on the __dsb() call, from ARM's docs:
The Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB) acts as a special kind of memory barrier. The DSB operation will complete when all explicit memory accesses before this instruction have completed. No instructions after the DSB will be executed until the DSB instruction has completed, that is, when all of the pending accesses have completed.
