Right, I was wondering about this, since I could not figure out what
the other side is (hardware, service processor or firmware).
So MEMREMAP_WB makes sense here.
Two more questions:
* Any comment on the byte ordering of the data in this line:
/* Copy the message to the PCC comm space */
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(struct slimpro_resp_msg) / 4; i++)
- writel_relaxed(msg[i], ptr + i * 4);
+ WRITE_ONCE(ptr[i], cpu_to_le32(msg[i]));
This assumes that the old code was correct even when running on
big-endian kernels and the message data consists of 32-bit data words.
If the message has some other format instead, we would need to treat
this as a byte stream and not do swapping here but instead do it
(if any) in the code that reads or writes the actual data here.
* Are you sure you don't need any smp_rmb()/smp_wmb() barriers
between the accesses?
