[PATCH RFC] libibverbs: add ARM64 memory barrier macros

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

 



The default generic barriers are not correct for ARM64. This results in
data corruption.  The correct macros are lifted from the linux kernel.

I wonder why the linux kernel doesn't export these?  Also, if the hw
platform is unknown, I don't think libibverbs should pick a default
implementation that might cause data corruption.  Rather, I think it
should just fail a compile on that platform.

Thoughts?
