If it doesn't provide them atomic64* is not going to be atomic vs the I/O device either. And that is on top of the fact that for various architectures you can't simply use plain loads and stores on MMIO memory to start with, which is why we have the special accessors and the __iomem annotation. _______________________________________________ amd-gfx mailing list amd-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/amd-gfx
