That was an exactly starting point for this discussion. This patch just pulls out from MIPS files smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release(). However, I put into LMO half year ago the patch http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/10506/ which replaces a generic smp_mb with MIPS specific smp_release/acquire in that functions. This patch also fixes use of SYNCs barriers in spin_locks/atomics/bitops for Imagination MIPS CPUs too - it is just absent now for any Imagination MIPS CPUs! Michael later pointed me that it can be returned back with his series of patches but discussion was already here. - Leonid.
