Subject: memory barriers in virtq.lua?
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 18:01:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150127160126.GA10651@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Nikolay,
I poked at src/lib/virtio/virtq.lua a bit -
I was surprised to find no explicit CPU memory
barriers in the virtq implementation.
These are typically required when using virtio
on smp machines - the spec actually mention where
barriers are necessary.
Are the barriers implicit somehow for lua?
I'd be curious to learn.


Thanks,
