I wasn't thinking clearly. mmiowb() only ensures the write has got as far as the shub. There's no way to fix this in the pci core -- any PCI-PCI bridge can reorder the two. This is only really a problem for setup (when we program the BARs), so it seems silly to enforce an ordering at any other time. Reluctantly, I must disagree with Jeff -- drivers need to fix this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
