Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] xhci: Add rmb() between reading event validity & event data access.
Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:52:57 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D901429.5010807@ozlabs.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <61164.94.211.195.167.1301094709.squirrel@gate.crashing.org>

On weakly-ordered systems, the reading of an event's content must occur
after reading the event's validity.
