Subject: [PATCH RFC] smp_store_mb should use smp_mb
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 09:22:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151221091130-mutt-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20151221085947-mutt-send-email-mst@redhat.com>
On some architectures smp_store_mb() calls mb() which is stronger
than implied by both the name and the documentation.
smp_store_mb is only used by core kernel code at the moment, so
we know no one mis-uses it for an MMIO barrier.
Make it call smp_mb consistently before some arch-specific
code uses it as such by mistake.
Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>

Note: I'm guessing an ack from arch maintainers will be needed, but
I'm working on a bigger cleanup moving a bunch of duplicated code
into asm-generic/barrier.h which depends on this, so not Cc'ing
widely yet.
Please Ack if appropriate but do not merge yet.
