[PATCH v7 0/4] arch: Add lightweight memory barriers for coherent memory access

2014-11-25 Thread Alexander Duyck
These patches introduce two new primitives for synchronizing cache coherent memory writes and reads. These two new primitives are: dma_rmb() dma_wmb() The first patch cleans up some unnecessary overhead related to the definition of read_barrier_depends, smp_read_barrier_depends,
