Since commits a7851aa54c0c ("io: change outX() to have their own IO
barrier overrides") and 87fe2d543f81 ("io: change inX() to have their own
IO barrier overrides"), the outX() and inX() functions have memory
barriers which can be overridden per-arch.
However, under CONFIG_INDIRECT_PIO, logic_pio defines its own version of
inX() and outX(), which still use readb et al. For these, the barrier
after a raw read is weaker than it otherwise would be.
This series generates consistent behaviour for logic_pio, by defining
generic _inX() and _outX() in asm-generic/io.h, and using those in
logic_pio. Generic _inX() and _outX() have per-arch overrideable
barriers.
The topic was discussed there originally:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2e80d7bc-32a0-cc40-00a9-8a383a1966c2@xxxxxxxxxx/
A small tidy-up patch is included.
I hope that series can go through the arm-soc tree, as with other recent
logic_pio changes.
Hi Arnd,
I added your tag, but please let me know if you have any issue with the
updated change in patch #1.
cheers
- Differences to v1
- fix x86 clang build by adding extra build swicth for _{in,out}X
- added Arnd's RB tag
John Garry (3):
io: Provide _inX() and _outX()
logic_pio: Improve macro argument name
logic_pio: Use _inX() and _outX()
