Subject: [PATCH 7/24] make atomic_read() behave consistently on h8300
Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 09:44:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070809134451.GA15406@shell.boston.redhat.com> (raw)
From: Chris Snook <csnook@redhat.com>
Make atomic_read() volatile on h8300. This ensures that busy-waiting
for an interrupt handler to change an atomic_t won't get compiled to an
infinite loop, consistent with SMP architectures.
