Currently udelay() will end up being a function call and will therefore force the store to be emitted, but I'd rather not rely on that. > > msecs = 1000; /* Wait at most a second for the other cpus to stop */ > while ((atomic_read(&waiting_for_crash_ipi) > 0) && msecs) { -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
