[PATCH 2/6] wil6210: guarantee safe access to rx descriptors shared memory

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

 



add memory barrier after allocating new rx descriptors, before
updating the hwtail.
This will guarantee that all writes to descriptors (shared memory)
are done before committing them to HW.
