However you have missed a few Xen source files which need the same mb/__smb_mb conversions: drivers/xen/grant-table.c drivers/xen/evtchn.c drivers/xen/events/events_fifo.c drivers/xen/xen-scsiback.c drivers/xen/tmem.c drivers/xen/xen-pciback/pci_stub.c drivers/xen/xen-pciback/pciback_ops.c > drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c | 8 ++++---- > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c > b/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c > index fdb0f33..09b17c7 100644 > --- a/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c > +++ b/drivers/xen/xenbus/xenbus_comms.c > @@ -123,14 +123,14 @@ int xb_write(const void *data, unsigned len) > avail = len; > > /* Must write data /after/ reading the consumer index. */ > - mb(); > + __smp_mb(); > > memcpy(dst, data, avail); > data += avail; > len -= avail; > > /* Other side must not see new producer until data is there. */ > - wmb(); > + __smp_wmb(); > intf->req_prod += avail; > > /* Implies mb(): other side will see the updated producer. */ > @@ -180,14 +180,14 @@ int xb_read(void *data, unsigned len) > avail = len; > > /* Must read data /after/ reading the producer index. */ > - rmb(); > + __smp_rmb(); > > memcpy(data, src, avail); > data += avail; > len -= avail; > > /* Other side must not see free space until we've copied out */ > - mb(); > + __smp_mb(); > intf->rsp_cons += avail; > > pr_debug("Finished read of %i bytes (%i to go)\n", avail, len); > -- > MST > _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
