[PATCH v2 04/12] MIPS: pm-cps: Update comments on barrier instructions

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

 



This code makes large use of barriers, which had quite vague
descriptions. Update the comments to make the choice of barrier and
reason for it more clear.
