Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
![]() Due to relaxed ordering requirements on multiple architectures, drivers are required to use wmb/rmb/mb combinations when they need to guarantee observability between the memory and the HW. The mpt3sas driver is already using wmb() for this purpose. However, it issues a writel following wmb(). writel() function on arm/arm64 arhictectures have an embedded wmb() call inside. This results in unnecessary performance loss and code duplication. writel already guarantees ordering for both cpu and bus. we don't need additional wmb() Signed-off-by: Sinan Kaya <okaya@codeaurora.org> Acked-by: Sreekanth Reddy <sreekanth.reddy@broadcom.com> Reviewed-by: Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
