[[ Appologies for the DUPLICATE email. I forgot to tell my Mail Agent to
use Plain Text. -- Casey ]]
I feel very uncomfortable with these proposed changes. Our team is right
in the middle of trying to tease our way through the various platform
implementations of writel(), writel_relaxed(), __raw_writel(), etc. in order
to support x86, PowerPC, ARM, etc. with a single code base. This is
complicated by the somewhat ... "fuzzily defined" semantics and varying
platform implementations of all of these APIs. (And note that I'm just
picking writel() as an example.)
Additionally, many of the changes aren't even in fast paths and are thus
unneeded for performance.
Please don't make these changes. We're trying to get this all sussed out.

Subject: [PATCH v4 12/17] net: cxgb4/cxgb4vf: Eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs
Code includes wmb() followed by writel(). writel() already has a barrier on
some architectures like arm64.
This ends up CPU observing two barriers back to back before executing the
register write.
Create a new wrapper function with relaxed write operator. Use the new
wrapper when a write is following a wmb().
