Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] io: prevent compiler reordering on the default writeX() implementation
Date:   Fri, 30 Mar 2018 11:58:12 -0400
Message-Id: <1522425494-2916-1-git-send-email-okaya@codeaurora.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The default implementation of mapping writeX() to __raw_writeX() is wrong.
writeX() has stronger ordering semantics. Compiler is allowed to reorder
__raw_writeX().

In the abscence of a write barrier or when using a strongly ordered
architecture, writeX() should at least have a compiler barrier in
it to prevent commpiler from clobbering the execution order.
