Message-ID: <8766885j7w.fsf@fadata.bg> (raw)


wmb is defined as

#define wmb()  __asm__ __volatile__ ("eieio" : : : "memory")

however, ``eieio'' has no effect on memory, that is
Write Through Not Required, thus I think it should be

#define wmb()  __asm__ __volatile__ ("sync" : : : "memory")

Comments ?
