Subject: [PATCH 12/16] staging: vchiq_util: get rid of unneeded memory barriers
Date:   Tue, 20 Nov 2018 15:53:47 +0100
Message-Id: <20181120145351.30390-13-nsaenzjulienne@suse.de>
In-Reply-To: <20181120145351.30390-1-nsaenzjulienne@suse.de>

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

All the memory operations featured in this file modify/access memory
that is only accessed by the CPU. So we can assume that all the memory
barrier handling done by the completion routines is good enough for us.
