[PATCH v4 1/2] asm-generic: Add memory barrier dma_mb()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The memory barrier dma_mb() is introduced by commit a76a37777f2c
("iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Ensure queue is read after updating prod pointer"),
which is used to ensure that prior (both reads and writes) accesses
to memory by a CPU are ordered w.r.t. a subsequent MMIO write.
