Subject: [PATCH 12/16] powerpc: reduce and comment xics ipi memory barrier
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:56:44 -0500 (CDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patch-xics-12@bga.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patch-xics-0@bga.com>

A single full sync (mb()) is requrired to order the mmio to the qirr reg
with the set or clear of the message word.  However, test_and_clear_bit
has the effect of smp_mb() and we are not doing any other io from here,
so we don't need a mb per bit processed.
