From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: okaya@codeaurora.org (Sinan Kaya) Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 22:50:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] scsi: hpsa: Eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs In-Reply-To: <1521514207-10695-1-git-send-email-okaya@codeaurora.org> References: <1521514207-10695-1-git-send-email-okaya@codeaurora.org> Message-ID: <1521514207-10695-2-git-send-email-okaya@codeaurora.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Code includes wmb() followed by writel(). writel() already has a barrier on some architectures like arm64. This ends up CPU observing two barriers back to back before executing the register write. Since code already has an explicit barrier call, changing writel() to writel_relaxed().
