+以下为正文
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+在某些平台上,所谓的内存映射I/O是弱顺序。在这些平台上,驱动开发者有责任
+保证I/O内存映射地址的写操作按程序图意的顺序达到设备。通常读取一个“安全”
+设备寄存器或桥寄存器,触发IO芯片清刷未处理的写操作到达设备后才处理读操作,
+而达到保证目的。驱动程序通常在spinlock保护的临界区退出之前使用这种技术。
+这也可以保证后面的写操作只在前面的写操作之后到达设备(这非常类似于内存
+屏障操作,mb(),不过仅适用于I/O)。
+
+假设一个设备驱动程的具体例子:
+
+        ...
+CPU A:  spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU A:  val = readl(my_status);
+CPU A:  ...
+CPU A:  writel(newval, ring_ptr);
+CPU A:  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+        ...
+CPU B:  spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU B:  val = readl(my_status);
+CPU B:  ...
+CPU B:  writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
+CPU B:  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+        ...
+
+上述例子中,设备可能会先接收到newval2的值,然后接收到newval的值,问题就
+发生了。不过很容易通过下面方法来修复:
+
+        ...
+CPU A:  spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU A:  val = readl(my_status);
+CPU A:  ...
+CPU A:  writel(newval, ring_ptr);
+CPU A:  (void)readl(safe_register); /* 配置寄存器?*/
+CPU A:  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+        ...
+CPU B:  spin_lock_irqsave(&dev_lock, flags)
+CPU B:  val = readl(my_status);
+CPU B:  ...
+CPU B:  writel(newval2, ring_ptr);
+CPU B:  (void)readl(safe_register); /* 配置寄存器?*/
+CPU B:  spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev_lock, flags)
+
+在解决方案中,读取safe_register寄存器,触发IO芯片清刷未处理的写操作,
+再处理后面的读操作,防止引发数据不一致问题。
