Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ide-tape: change IDE_AFLAG_IGNORE_DSC non-atomically
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2009 09:05:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243926308-32385-2-git-send-email-petkovbb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1243926308-32385-1-git-send-email-petkovbb@gmail.com>

There are two sites where the flag is being changed: ide_retry_pc
and idetape_do_request. Both codepaths are protected by hwif->busy
(ide_lock_port) and therefore we shouldn't need the atomic accesses. The
only problem would be the compiler reordering the accesses, therefore the
optimization barrier.
