Hi Jeff,
Are you talking about these two 8139 files from 2.4?
/home/hartvige/src/linux/linux-ralf/drivers/net> ls *8139*.c
8139cp.c 8139too.c
I can't see that they are using wbflush in any way. Grepping after wbflush through the
entire 2.4 tree, it seems wbflush is something only present on some dec platforms and then
the au1000 stuff - which would mean that any driver directly calling __wbflush would be
unable to compile/load on the majority of kernels. Or am I missing something? (I haven't
been using modules under MIPS at all).
In fact, I can't find a single file including wbflush.h except system.h, and it doesn't look
like anybody else should directly be including the wbflush.h file, but only use the macros
in system.h:
#define wmb() fast_wmb()
#define rmb() fast_rmb()
#define mb() wbflush();
#define iob() wbflush();
(which are differently defined if there is no WB configured).
