No you can't use same socket from two threads at the same time. The memory barrier is unrelated to the above. It's a machine instruction that ensures that the caches are synchronised and instruction reordering doesn't happen across the barrier. That way you can be sure that lock-free algorithms see a consistent data in memory after migration is done.
