>From arch/arm/include/asm/io.h #define __iowmb() wmb() [ ... ] #define writel(v,c) ({ __iowmb(); writel_relaxed(v,c); }) >From Documentation/memory-barriers.txt: "Note that, when using writel(), a prior wmb() is not needed to guarantee that the cache coherent memory writes have completed before writing to the MMIO region." In other words, calling wmb() before writel() is not necessary. Hence remove the wmb() calls that precede a writel() call. Remove the wmb() calls that precede a ufshcd_send_command() call since the latter function uses writel(). Remove the wmb() call from ufshcd_wait_for_dev_cmd() since the following chain of events guarantees that the CPU will see up-to-date LRB values: * UFS controller writes to host memory. * UFS controller posts completion interrupt after the memory writes from the previous step are visible to the CPU. * complete(hba->dev_cmd.complete) is called from the UFS interrupt handler. * The wait_for_completion(hba->dev_cmd.complete) call in ufshcd_wait_for_dev_cmd() returns.
