[PATCH 3.18 05/85] MIPS: io: Add barrier after register read in readX()

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

 



3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sinan Kaya <okaya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a1cc7034e33d12dc17d13fbcd7d597d552889097 ]

While a barrier is present in the writeX() functions before the register
write, a similar barrier is missing in the readX() functions after the
register read. This could allow memory accesses following readX() to
observe stale data.
