Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] pcnet32: Remove pointless memory barriers
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:07:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240945659.8819.9.camel@Maple> (raw)
These two memory barriers in performance-critical paths are not needed
on x86. Even if some other architecture does buffer PCI I/O space
writes, the existing memory-mapped I/O barriers are unlikely to be what
is needed.
