[PATCH REPOST v4 0/7] netdev: intel: Eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs

[PATCH REPOST v4 0/7] netdev: intel: Eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs

[Sinan Kaya]

Code includes wmb() followed by writel() in multiple places. writel()
already has a barrier on some architectures like arm64.

This ends up CPU observing two barriers back to back before executing the
register write.

Since code already has an explicit barrier call, changing writel() to
writel_relaxed().

I did a regex search for wmb() followed by writel() in each drivers
directory.
I scrubbed the ones I care about in this series.

I considered "ease of change", "popular usage" and "performance critical
path" as the determining criteria for my filtering.

We used relaxed API heavily on ARM for a long time but
it did not exist on other architectures. For this reason, relaxed
architectures have been paying double penalty in order to use the common
drivers.

Now that relaxed API is present on all architectures, we can go and scrub
all drivers to see what needs to change and what can remain.

We start with mostly used ones and hope to increase the coverage over time.
It will take a while to cover all drivers.

Feel free to apply patches individually.

repost:
- split into intel specific patches

Changes since v3:

- group patches together into subsystems net:...
- collect reviewed and tested bys
- scrub barrier()

[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH REPOST v4 2/7] ixgbe: eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs

[Sinan Kaya]

Code includes wmb() followed by writel() in multiple places. writel()
already has a barrier on some architectures like arm64.

This ends up CPU observing two barriers back to back before executing the
register write.

Since code already has an explicit barrier call, changing writel() to
writel_relaxed().

[PATCH REPOST v4 6/7] ixgbevf: eliminate duplicate barriers on weakly-ordered archs

[Sinan Kaya]

Code includes wmb() followed by writel() in multiple places. writel()
already has a barrier on some architectures like arm64.

This ends up CPU observing two barriers back to back before executing the
register write.

Since code already has an explicit barrier call, changing writel() to
writel_relaxed().

Hah, I did a compile test but maybe I missed something. I will get v6 of 
this patch only and leave the rest of the series as it is.

Actually you might want to just pull Jeff's tree and rebase before you
submit your patches. I suspect the difference is the ixgbevf XDP code
that is present in Jeff's tree and not in Dave's. The alternative is
to wait for Jeff to push the ixgbevf code and then once Dave has
pulled it you could rebase your patches.

Thanks.

For a change with delicate side effects, it doesn't create much
confidence if the code does not even compile.

Sinan, please put more care into the changes you are making.
